For my health.
Waking up on a cardiac ward made me realise I had to do something else than work. Getting back on a bike after 20 years you are too busy staying alive to worry about work, family, money etc.

I just really love riding. I ride the B4116/B4114 to Coleshill every day and I thoroughly enjoy that road so it makes my daily commute that bit more exciting. To me, driving a car is a chore and I know I will never get the same buzz out of driving a car that I do from biking.
The other HUGE advantage is that because I ride a bike that handles so beautifully and provides plentiful smooth torque I have no wish to EVER buy a sports car. I know that no matter how much I spend on a 'supercar' the thrill probably wouldn't even compare with my SV. You can keep your fancy 5 setting adjustable seats, CD players and staying warm and dry - I'll stick to the bike ta anyway. |

I need a multi option. Partly for the fun and partly as I never bothered to do my car test!
Mainly the reason is because I can!! ![]() |

I wanted a bike for years, but I was pushed into it more because I started commuting longer distances in a car that has crappy MPG.
I was spending £20/day in fuel for the car, which was stupid. So I bought a CG125 from a mate, passed my CBT, and started riding that to work & back. Then she sheared her sump plug, dropped her oil, and ceased the engine solid. Instead of repairing that, I bought the SV. Most of the time I ride because I'm commuting. Yes I could get a cheap car that ran on tuppence of fuel, but I live in North Wales. The roads around here are great for a bike. However, I think nothing of going out on a sunny morning & wasting 3 tanks of fuel as well. |
