Started because I wanted to be different as none of my friends have one. And I could not afford fast cars yet I like speed, tired of driving an old corolla and getting beat by moms in minivans.
I was also thinking I am paying such high premiums for life insurance , might as well use it!
Woke up one morning in Feb and decide I must get a bike. 2.5 months later I did the course and picked up my bike the day after.
After I got the bike I found the following perks.
Cheaper gas.
5000 dollar bike will beat most 50,000 dollar cars out there.
I get treated with more smiles when I am in bike gear and anywhere public. A lot of random ppl wanna chat, maybe they think bikers are more outgoing.
Free parking, easier to find parking, have an "option" to not get stuck in traffic if I am in a rush.
Lastly, girls girls girls. It is so much easier to start talking to a girl. Bikes can be a great conversation starter but there is an art to it , u can't sell the fact u have a bike, u gotta let them see u have a bike but u pretend to hide the fact that u have one.lol.
If you are on a first few date with the girl and she is willing to be a passenger, u instantly have broken the physical barrier.

lol you may as well try and prove the colour of oranges, you don't seem to be very bright.
You mean the light absorption and emission characteristics of a series of long chain conjugated isoprene units? It's actually very simple and requires no proof, just understanding.
Been on bicycles since I was 4 years old until early 20's then I got fat... Got my learners permit for car but my instructor was an angry Russian dude that stressed me out too much so I quit, never really had an interest in cars anyway. Wanted a motorcycle for years but either money was too tight or I was nervous I would get angry Russian dude again somehow. Last year a friend said he was planning on getting his M1 and he would end me his books because he though I should too, but then he didn't go get it.
So last march I said **** it bought the books, plowed through them and went to do the test, then I came here and started asking "stupid" questions while waiting for the course date, got a Kawi and did the course.
I'm just much more comfortable on two wheels than in a car

Please, until you're a site supporter, no eye contact.
Growing up, my two older brothers rode, so for me it was only natural that I start. The only difference back then was they were into the twin cruisers ( you know who) and I gravitated to the inline 4's (and dirt bikes) But what the heck. To each his own. Riding is riding.

+1 One less stupid person attempting to read and reply to what I type just makes my life easier.
But we have to go orange picking to find out since nothing can be learnt through books or videos :O don't we have to pick every orange in the world?
Because riding solves everything:
Parents piss you off? Go ride.
Gf/wife/whatever is being over sensitive? Go ride.
Job is boring? Go ride.
Dog took a **** on your bike? Clean it up and go ride.
Ready to punch your computer because of some software bug? Go for a ride!
I always feel better after a ride. Also riding feels more "free" than driving. Plus the comradery between riders is amazing. I never used to talk to strangers before, now if I see a bike, chances are we'll strike up a conversation....
...I still don't talk to hot woman on bikes though, not enough confidence for that

Moved out at 17. I'm 35. Parents no longer piss me off
Gf was over sensitive so I traded her in for a bike.
Job is midnights and boring but gives me all day to ride.
If the dog even thought about it I'd sell him too.
Software bugs? I have macs. We don't get those
I give you the comradery. Riders are typically great from those I've met so far. Hot women or not
Awesome post by the way :lmao:

Being on two-wheels has become a part of who I am - BMX, mountain bike, road bike and (finally, once I was 26) my motorcycle.
The adrenalin, the freedom, the power, the efficiency, the scenery...everything about it, and especially the perspective gained from living dangerously.
