Default Tired

I'm tired of the wind in my face. I'm tired of leaning to turn.I'm tired of pulling in the clutch. I'm tired of twisting the throttle. I'm tired stopping for gas and having to figure out where to put my gas cap. I'm tired shifting through six gears. I'm tired of changing my oil and having to figure out which oil to use. I'm tired of adjusting my chain tension. I'm tired of looking in the manual for torque specs. I'm tired of waving. I'm tired of figuring out what pirate suit to wear in case I get caught in the rain. I'm tired of getting caught in the rain. I'm tired of going to biker events and comparing chrome with other bikers. I'm tired of talking to other bikers. I'm tired of biker forums, threads and post counts. I'm tired of H.O.G. sending me crap in the mail.

Can't I just be a biker with out having to actually do anything other then own a bike. Come to think of it, can somebody ride my bike for me.

It's funny that when I first read this I thought "what a F'n baby", but the more I read the more I found myself saying:"I don't like to always have to shift, I don't like to wave, I hate changing my oil, etc". Even though much of being a biker isn't perfect it's the memories I have riding with my brothers and friends that have made me continue to ride and put up with the imperfect world of being a biker.
