Well I always thought tractors, cars, trucks and bikes should go together. Tractors being very slow and bikes being very fast with everything else inbetween.
Bought my first one when I was 16 (BSA 175 Bantam), I just turned 60 recently and still like bikes. Currently have a Buell Firebolt 1200, Triumph Bonneville 750, Ducati 750, Yamaha xs650, BSA Lighning 650, BSA Firebird (maybe) Honda FT500 and a BSA Starfire 250.My first and several afterwards were my main means of transport to and from work summer and winter often with several inches of snow on the ground.
As others have said they are a great way of see in the country and definately a different experience to driving a car. I think you need lots of self discipline to ride a bike as even now I still find them rather addictive. I only ever ride nowadays during the few sunny days we get in Scotland and even then there is a constant concern about other road users. When I visit Canada and the US I wish I could have a bike to ride, your roads are much wider and have much less speeding traffic (apart from towns) than the UK.
Riders in the UK generally ride very powerful and fast sports bikes (very few touring bikes)on narrow crowded roads way too fast for my liking, unfortunately this has taken much of the fun out of it for me...... or have I just gotten old!! Bill

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
