Why get a motorcycle?

Ryding is my favorite thing to do with clothes on.

In 1969, my friend bought a new Triumph Trident 750. I didn't ride motorcycles, I was into hot rods (I had a 1941 Chevy pickup with a Blue Flame 6 cylinder, headers, duals exhaust, and glass packs, well, it was MY hot rod). He hounded me for a couple of months to ride his bike, no way I said. Finally, I said I would ride it around the block (maybe 5 minutes) if he would shut up about harassing me, he said it was a deal. I came back about an hour and a half later, he was getting in his car to look for me and ready to call the PD as I must have had an accident, and that was the start of my motorcycling life. I sold the truck, bought a new Honda CB450! Now 12 bikes and 50 yrs later, while traveling to 28 states, Canada and Mexico, I'm still at it! Hopefully with no end in sight.........
