How much is motorcycling a part of your life?

Do you see yourself still riding 5,10,15, 20, 30 years from now?

I work at a bike shop, my uncle worked at a bike shop, my dad was car guy...he was the black sheep

I see myself riding for as long as my body lets me

I'll be riding and doing track days until I can't or for some reason it becomes no longer fun for me....

I guess I'm old enough and have been riding long enough where I'm not going to automatically put up a "OMG iMa gONna b RiDiNGz 4eVa!!!

Never thought about it as a hobby or considered when I'm going to give it up. Don't do it for social reasons, adrenaline chasing and not once have I ever considered giving it up.

It's kinda of a confort thing. I feel more confortable, even safer travelling by MC. Toss on top of that the whole perception of your surrounding thing...I'm not a big fan of travelling in a sensory deprivation vessel.

There are a bunch of other reasons I could list, but I think I'm going to leave it at "Shooting for the 50 years of riding" mark.

32 years and counting.

Doubt I'll stop any time soon.

Pushing 20 years now and still love it, I def dont see myself stopping anytime soon. esp with me wanting to do so many more trips to different places. Plus the camaradre of all the guys and gals I ride with up here.

Same here. I started riding because I needed a vehicle and I thought it would be fun to get a bike. Ive never been a car guy and I figured a bike would give me the most bang for my buck. So for a few years my motorcycle was my only form of transportation. After ruining my F2 I went a year or so with only a car to drive and it really sucked until I was able to get the bike I have now. I really dont see any reason why I would stop riding as log as Im physically able.

I dont stunt, I dont push limits, there are no canyons to carve in Florida. Id like to do some trackdays at some point but I just havent had the means yet. I just prefer riding a motorcycle to the other transportation options I have. Maybe if I get a jet pack Ill put the bike away.

I dont ever see myself giving up on riding. leaving the SPORTBIKE world, possibly, and getting a tourer, but not ever giving up entirely.

Its a hobby. When I lose interest, i'll stop.

MikeSP1 · 07-03-2009, 12:01 PM

I'll keep riding until I can am no longer physically capable of riding. And then I'll get a Goldwing trike
