Why do you.....
Why do ride? I've been riding since I was a kid, no one else in my family rides. I just wanted to be out on my own, the freedom of the open road. What drew you two wheelers out from among the rest?

Second thing was to get a cycle. 64 XLCH.
Why?? Cause my parents wouldn't let me have one.
43 years later, I still do what I want. Ride.
I'm an addict.

RE: Why do you.....
It was all my Dads fault. When I was 10, I was saving up for a 10 speed. My Dad knew a guy with a minibike for sale, you know, tube frame, briggs motor, no suspension. Well I bought it and thats what started it all. 24 motorcycles later and now my first Harley. There's just nothing that compares to riding motorcycles. It's flying without wings to me. Sometimes I wish I would live forever just to ride....

RE: Why do you.....
Always wanted to ride when I was a kid. Didn't really start until after I moved out from the folks. Mom was pretty adament about that. Got my first bke at 20 or 21 and rode 'til I damn near killed myself at 33 or 4. I wasn't injured, just real shook up, but it trashed the left side of the bike. I fixed the bike but was riding less and less. Yeah, the accident shook me pretty bad and I was on the FD at the time, and what I was seeing there didn't help. Eventually I wasn't riding at all and there was this house we wanted to buy. Sold the bike, bought the house, and thought about buying another bike every spring since then. This past spring, the bike, the money, and me, were all in the same place at the same time and I'm riding once again - - - and loving every minute.

Too many reasons to list. Connected to the outdoors, the feeling of it, the freedom, the thrill.
...and nowadays the mpg increase. That's a start
