I ride because ....I can just relax and enjoy the slow cruise or I can crank itopen and fly..I can gluide through the twist and turns of a mountain roador stretch it outon the long straight aways.I can do it alone or have my wife with me. It does not matter as long as I can ride.

This is my way of getting back at her.

Riding is the food for my soul, the light for my eyes, the air for my lungs, the open free feeling that engulfs me when I am on the powerful sled that glides along a country road as I suck up the therapy that is natures freedom,

To ride is to live....if I cannot ride, I shall not live....

I ride for the love of the ride and the road. Its something thats inside me. And like alot of the other guys said its better than therapy. Did you ever see a motorcycle parked in front of a therapists office? I dont think so.
