Thats a damn good question and not to easy to answer for me, ya see it changes from time to time. I enjoy touring and spirited rides as well. I can not commute and I don't like parades, Rally rides are great and wolf pack runs are fun it really isn't that easy to narrow down for me.

This is a trick question, right?

Although I did get an awesome back rub once while riding the final 60 km on the freeway once

Hmmmm, pretty much anything on or involving a motorcycle is fun. Ok, I hate traffic as much as anyone else, but filtering through traffic (which is legal and common where I am) beats being stuck in a cage. But just to name a favorite, riding twisty mountain roads is pretty sublime. Next up is touring (seeing someplace new is great, but it often involves a lot of motorway riding, which gets dull).

Acceleration. Or at least the feeling of acceleration. (I guess you could classify that as torque really). But the feeling of WOT. (within the legal limits o/c).

Could explain why I love a sporty V-Twin's torque or a great inline-4. :revv:

Probably riding in the country where traffic is scarce.

Hey, pics are a great idea, blues.

Anytime the lines get squiggly on your GPS, it means fun is coming up ahead . . .
