Because it's the closest I can get to being a Power Ranger :lol: :lol:





But seriously, why ?


I understand and fully agree with the fact that whilst riding, you don't think about anything else, you don't really have time. I had recentky been suffering from stress, the bike was my only true "get out".

To push my personal envelope. I have found something that requires skill and co-ordination but doesn't need a ball. I like getting better at what I do, not every day, but noticing those times when you can say "I never used to do that" or "Before, I would have done so & so", and knowing that you have come on in your quest to improve your ability.

The social side is important to me, some of the people I would call "close friends" are those that I have found since passing my DAS, or people who have become closer since.

The ability to actually go out with a motor vehicle and enjoy the experience. Where could you really go in a performance car and actually use it. On a bike you can slip past traffic and on the next open section experience the power within. There is something about coming of a roundabout in 2nd, hitting the limiter, kicking to 3rd, into the red and shifting again...

That's it, I'm off out for a ride....
