What would you be doing if there were no motorcycles ?

#1 Unread post by xsyamahadg »

What would you be doing if there were no motorcycles ? Most of us ride motorcycles for reasons of our own, some of us want the spirit of adventure and exploration, some of us feel the need for speed, some of us ride for relaxation, some of us ride so we can meet new friends and make lasting relationships, some of us use the motorcycle for transportation, there are probably a hundred other reasons for riding motorcycles.

But if there were no motorcycles, what would you be doing to satisfy that little something extra that you need to make life interesting ?

I would probably be hiking, or exploring the world around me by other means, I have always felt the need to explore and see places I have never seen before, and the motorcycle has been an excellent means to do just that.

What would you be doing to satisfy that inner self if there were no motorcycles ?

I'd have some kind of a roadster - small, light, quick steering. Like a vintage MG or Austin, or maybe even an old Porsche.

(...and like a friend's TR6, it would probably spend most of it's time waiting for a part... :roll: )
