Gumbo, you know that you never go in the garage; you really just stay-in, look-at-it and then you tinker with it...   :rofl:

There are worst habits to have  :ohwow: :ohwow: ;D

It's not really something easy to explain for me. And in some ways, to me, definition is pointless.

For years, I've heard people say the phrase "I was born for this" or "It's in my blood" about whatever. Both those statements are the closest I can come to an explanation. It is part of who I am, and I am incomplete without it. It has brought me some of the most memorable times of my life, and more enjoyment than any other activity.

Riding your bike is like a big puff of wind that sends you screaming down a FM 4 road.  When you ride 7or 800 miles in a day and its not going 400 and returning 400 its and adventure.  You get up the next day and do it again until you get to wher you are going or just wondering around the country side.  Their are two ways to see a mountain in the summer on a motorcycle and in the winter on a pair of ski's.  Either one is fantastic.

ain't it amazing how you PREFER to ride roads that you would not drive in the car and see things on the bike that you would never notice otherwise. How you stop at places that you would just blow by in the cage. and the big plus is how people that ride come together with this sense of commoraderie. Jeez I'm gettin'all mushy.

I love never being lost, taking a wrong turn. In my truck, if I make a wrong turn, I turn around. On the bike, I just take a longer route.

Ding, ding, ding... I just enjoy the feeling of heading no where on two wheels.
