Riding is something most people don’t have to do, but rather feel compelled to–for a wide variety of reasons ranging from passion to practicality. 

One of the most distinct things about riding is that nothing feels quite like a motorbike; the thrill of being at one with a two-wheeled machine  is one of the purest ways to get from point A to B, and the risks involve sometimes even heighten that enjoyment. 

High speeds on a motorbike can also be more exhilarating than high speeds in an automobile. Not only is the sensation of speed greater since the rider is not separated from the environment of the road, but motorcycles negotiate turns by leaning. And the greater the speed, the greater the lean, sometimes to the point of scraping parts of the motorbike on the road. Some riders will point proudly to the worn-away parts of their motorcycle, proof that they take turns so fast that they must lean the motorcycle over to the limits of its capabilities.
