Default RE: is there a connection between 1/2a and motorcycles?

Bikes make even the crappiest day at work better with a ride home. Even a trip across town to get something from the hardware store is more of a trip or adventure than an errand when you do it on two wheels. I think the reason so many of us ride is that flying 1/2A is about personal enjoyment that doesn't matter to anyone but you, but still marks you as an individual apart from the crows. That rings true with bikes for sure....
That is a perfect statement. It could have come out of my own mouth.
You already know what my first was, I have also owned
78 GS1000
82 V-45 Sabre, I had more adventures on this bike than any other. It paid for itself 10 times over in money stolen from Ninja riders.
81 RZ-350
I have ridden dozens of others from HD and Buel to RC-30 and Aprillia.

Dave, your comment above makes me need to get my head in the wind.
We used to do 110 pulls on I-96 from Novi to Brighton before it was finished. The Graph, Woodward, and Gratiot all old haunts for me. Even a long pull out M-14? to the Irish Hills...Ahhh yess.
