Why do you ride?
I have my own thoughts on the matter, but I'm more interested in hearing what others have to say. And instead of asking leading questions, I'll just let you, who are willing, answer in your own words.

Why do I ride? Simply put, because I enjoy it. All of the other pros are merely positive side benefits, such as cheaper on gas, more economical all around, etc...
In the end, and the biggest reason of all is because I like it.

Ever since being a little kid I've loved motorized things...and the open air feeling on some of them.
I've always leaned towards the bottom end grunt of slower revving big cube engines.
It's good therapy, clears the head.
Getting into a good groove on some roads....once you get into that groove...settle into a great speed and that engine and exhaust gets into a good cadence..and your ears pick up that music, the wind in your face puts a smile on it, the fresh air, the way your body and your bike really gel into one thing...and you take in the scenery....there's not much that's better than that!...well, except when the wife's on the back with her arms around me....cuz she loves it just as much.
