1. When my friends in the car ask my why I got off the freeway. The answer is always "Cause I was bored." 2. I've learned a lot of back roads in my area that I had absolutely no reason to ever be on. 3. Pulling a squidly wheelie from a light cause the kid in the back of the SUV asked you to real nicely. 4. The look of horror on the parents face when their kids scream with glee. 5. When your boss gives you the strangest look when you rode to work in ~34*f weather.

I got to blip the SV for a kid today for the first time, it was wonderful. Grinned from ear to ear (both of us).

This one time I was at a White Castle and it was real late. The only other customers were some high school kids who were driving a station wagon. I left at the same time as they did (they were eating there, I just ordered and put the bag of sliders into my backpack) and I saw their faces etched with jealousy as I started my bike and revved the engine. Underneath my helmet, I was all "Nyah nyah! I have a bike and yoooouu doooon't!"

The last time I rode was June 15th then I got sick, spent a bunch of time in the hospital and even more time at my parents house recovering. Last night my Dad and I arrived at my house, first thing I did was walk out to the garage and sit on the bikes and it felt great. This morning my only goal of the day was to ride. Took 20 minutes to get my boots on thanks to some fluid buildup in my feet/ankles but it didn't matter. Suited up, hopped on the SV and took off. Froze my rear end off but it didn't matter. Got home and jumped on the DRZ. Froze my rear end off again but it didn't matter because I was back on the bike. All the bullshit I put up with for the past few months was worth it because I'm back on the bike and its great. Putting my Dad on the DRZ today and watching him turn into a kid again. Takes off across the lawn and tears out of the neighborhood. Supermoto corrupts

1. When the speedo cable pops off and I haven't fixed it yet so I just go until I get to WHEEEEEE miles per hour. 2. Looking goofy as all hell in my green uniform jeans that let my socks stick out the tops of my hiking boots, but not giving a drat because the ride to work on a Sunday when no one else is on the roads is spectacular. 3. Laying down on the gas tank. It feels like I'm in a bubble of happy. 4. Saying "I ride a Ninja 250!" with a big grin to dudes that ride liter bikes. I don't think they know what to make of me. 5. I noobed up an oil change spectacularly so my bike kinda slowly drips oil all the time, the license plate jiggles nearly off every few rides, the handlebars are bent, the clutch lever's broken, the instrument panel's back plastic hunk is cracked so I duct taped it to the fairing, the windscreen is all wonky and the gas tank is dented but I love love love this bike. I pat the gas tank when I get to work in the mornings and when I get home in the evenings. It takes care of me in my noobitude.

This was my ride to Oakland last weekend. My friends in the bay area put on a vegan Thanksgiving potluck thing. I was coming down from Chico. After I passed Sac-to and got on 80, it was gridlock almost the whole way to Davis.. SWEET!!! All those poor saps in their cages, later suckas!! I lanesplit and weaved almost the whole way to the Bay Area. Fun stuff!

Surely we haven't run out of things to love the poo poo out of while motorcycling yet? #n+1: The first few warming, sunny days after a cold snap. Going out after not riding for a week or two and feeling the bike respond as you twist open more throttle coming out of a turn and it stands itself up under power.

You are correct, sir! All of our supermoto riders are prissy nerds who would never sully their bikes in actual dirt. You'll notice that there were only two bikes there on a beautiful 40 degree day. All the other riders are pussies.

1. Parking wherever the gently caress I like, whenever the gently caress I like. Even if it's not OK, no one knows the rules w/r/t bike parking here so its cool. 2. Getting my confidence back after a couple of dumps, leaning further into corners than I ever have before, feeling like superman. 3. Riding to college in the rain, and sitting on my bike in the plumes of steam coming from my engine getting warm. 4. Terrifying small children 5. Turning into a small child on open country roads. Edit: and this is just on a 125. Rode my dads XT650 a couple of miles in the country a while back, it was the most exhilerating experience of my life. I cannot wait to pass my bike test and get a bigger bike. meme fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Jan 30, 2011 |

1. Owning a vehicle that fills up for ten bucks, can park anywhere, go through any weather or any terrain, out accelerates just about every other car out there, and gets 50 mpg. 2. Wearing all the gear, all the time. Whether you feel like a spaceman, superhero, or Darth Vader (its a prerequisite for black helmets), its loving awesome. 3. Despite sitting next to a 2011 Porsche at the light, everyone is looking at you. Even the guy in the Porsche. And its 35 degrees out. 4. Rolling the throttle on in corners, body tucked in, head lowered, feeling like you're flying a F15 3 feet from the ground. 5. All the places you'll go, the people you'll meet, and the memories you'll make travelling on two wheels than four. I've had more spur of the moment trips and have talked to and made friends with more strangers than I can count riding my bike than driving my truck.

The feeling you get from negotiating a corner perfectly. Every corner on a motorcycle can be exciting. Waving at kids and making their day. Making the ladies jaws drop, I look drat good in my gear. Vanity, baby!
