I do not understand the attraction to motorcycles

I have no desire for them. Which is a good thing because I have hemophilia. I also don’t understand why you want him so loud.

I ride alone several times a year through 4 or 5 states. End up on the Blue Ridge Parkway a couple times a year. It is so relaxing and you think or so many things while you ride for hours but in a way I dont focus on any thoughts but the ride. At the end of a week or so I am so recharged. I ride a Harley and its not quite but not super loud I need back pressure for my engine so I have baffles. No need to try and explain you either love it or not.

@stroker1459 I never had a Harley. But I have rented them in the past. The closest bike I
had was a Vulcan V-twin. I'm a dual sport rider at heart, so I actually took it on some
trails Lol. I also liked gravel roads. I had a Harley rider friend who hated following me
on gravel roads, because I would ride it like a flat tracker, which I used to do years ago
on an XR500.

I would love to travel on one someday. I want a side cart for my dog though.
There's an old biker saying...

@BrewCityBarfly Yeah, it is kinda like mountain climbing and Rock climbing.
People just see it as dangerous, with unnecessary risk. But I loved doing that
back a few years ago. People that don't ride, don't understand the good feeling.

Hell, I still sometimes get that same feeling that I did as a kid riding my first motorcycle
I had one before, it was a lot of fun, the freedom of driving on the open road, my boots just inches off the asphalt racing by.
But I agree, I don’t like the really loud ones that scream “look at me!”
So disruptive to the peace

@Ghostinthemachine The loud pipes really are a warning sound, they do save lives.

I had a Vulcan V twin with straight pipes, people heard me coming. I could care less
if they looked at ME, I just want them to pay attention, and know I'm there.
@DogMan I don’t agree that if we choose to ride a motorcycle that we should be telling everyone within earshot to watch for us.
Especially when my kids were woken up as babies in the middle of the night because next door neighbour comes home on his Harley. Also, not great for the riders ears 👂

Guess you've never been on one

@HannahSky I was on the back of my dad’s. When I was little. Like 11. And if I drove one now it would not change anything. I’ve driven a quad and a go cart. Wasn’t impressed
For me, its the grace of the machine, and the oneness you can feel when riding.

It's like the difference between a motorboat and a sail boat. You feel closer to the environment which you are 😏.

Commuting not so much, but when you meet a country road ....it's just bliss. The world drops away, and it's just you and the road . It's magic.

You kinda become one with your bike and it's got a feeling akin to swimming ....you're in it, your with it, you're connected to the road, and the road is the dance.

Seems like a death trap
Their fathers didn't show them enough love.
