Well, as the title states, what makes you glad you ride? For me, it's...
1. Saving a good piece of change on gas.
2. Realizing that there's more to the road than just pavement and signs, like finding a beautiful place that just can't be appreciated by car...and bringing your boy/girlfriend there to enjoy it with you.
3. The feeling of that b/f or g/f strapped to your back as you whistle through some twisties.
4. Giving a youngster their first ride and knowing that they're hooked for life.
5. Knowing that your horsepower to weight ratio easily embarrasses every make and model of car commercially available.
6. College girls who want a ride, and looking to you to give them one.
7. The obvious one, wind in your hair...the satisfaction of freedom that can only be found on two wheels.
8. Lane-splitting, pissing off those cagers who are busy raising their blood-pressure by yakking on their f*cking cell phones about how this traffic sucks.
9. Actually looking forward to getting up early on a Saturday morning...to ride.
10. Poker runs for charity.
11. Really any excuse to ride whatsoever.
12. Knowing that you can afford to have the very best commercially available products on wheels without taking out a second mortgage to afford.
13. Not being bothered with cell phones, or radio djs who won't quit talking when you wanna hear some freakin' music, or kids screaming in the backseat...just hearing your engine sing sweetly to the top of its rpm range and the wind blowing by.
14. Did I mention the wind thing? Haha!
15. Actually enjoying spending money on your ride to get it fixed. Hey, you're riding again, so what if you're dead broke now?
16. Knowing that while you're inside the club partying, people outside in line are drooling over your machine.
17. Blowing the doors off of a ricer who thinks he's hot shit because he's pushing 200 ponies, especially if there's money on the line. What makes this sweeter is when you do so on a 600ss and he was busy talking shit about how "it's only a 600, dawg, what you got?"
18. Making instant friends with complete strangers who just happen to ride.
19. Who else, besides two bikers, waves at each other going opposite directions, even though they don't know each other?
20. Biker groupies, especially the fine-lookin' ones who are just dyin' to take a ride on a bike, even though you may look more Abe Vigoda than Brad Pitt.
21. Track days!
There are more, but the bed is calling, so post up!!
