worked on PCs for too many years now to ever enjoy making something go that should already bloody work (Honda mentallity I know).

but upgrading? oh yes, thinking about what bits to add, considering best use of resources, pros and cons of, getting something within budget and making it do stuff only high spec things should do.... oh yeah

cleaning/polishing, fettling in the garage in the winter with the heater and radio/tv on in the background (yes my garage has a tv). The bike has always been something which ive aspired to so now ive got one, i dont want to give it up. I know there are better and more exotic bikes out there, but from the first time i saw the pointy svs i wanted one. The picture i had on my wall at uni was of a silver one tho

I just like the fact I have motorbikes in the garage.
I like the smell when I open the garage door, the mix of petrol, two stroke oil, WD40, rubber etc.

I too would say cleaning it is second to riding it, but more recently, other than riding, my favourite biking pass time is discussing "bikes" with my son, and helping him sort out any niggles etc with his kit, now he's a biker too (well sort of, he's only got a scooter, but he's a biker at heart).
