So why do you ride?

Yeah, you've summed up most of the reason I ride, too. I just love it! Riding a motorcycle turns a boring commute into a reason to go to work. It turns a trip to the 7-11 into a small adventure. It also, not-so-subconsciously, sends a message that I'm a bit of a rebel, which is important to my ego in today's sanitized, politically correct world. But mostly it's about injecting some fun into my day.
