I love that every day is different, and that most of the time I dont even know what will happen. beats sitting at a desk that day, even when you re puncture the tire twice trying to fix a flat on a deserted road in the middle of nowhere Argentina. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-74549033763835451462008-08-29T09:54:00.000-05:002008-08-29T09:54:00.000-05:00Chris - Scooters are definitely conversation-start...Chris - Scooters are definitely conversation-starters. Just wait until you take yours out of state.<BR/><BR/>Mrs RC & Hawktane - Cars were originally intended to make travelling easier and more comfortable. In order to keep selling new cars, designers have worked to make travel even more easy, and even more comfortable, past the point of diminishing returns. Driving a modern car is not an engaging experience.<BR/><BR/>So rather than revert the cars to a more primative design, we've added video players, navigation computers and other distractions to keep us occupied.<BR/><BR/>The primal experience, I believe, is why many people lust after classic cars, sportscars and pickup trucks.Luckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481824369632937289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-52810299555444988692008-08-29T01:18:00.000-05:002008-08-29T01:18:00.000-05:00I agree with mrs rc.

Motorcyclists seem to represent the primitive experience of the journey. Cars used to be this way but gadgets, radios, kids become distractions that aren't always journey friendly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-61382863136307346972008-08-28T16:44:00.000-05:002008-08-28T16:44:00.000-05:00I find that most people these days are spoiled rot...I find that most people these days are spoiled rotten...if they don't have air conditioning, lumbar support, a constant supply of food & beverage, continuous electronic stimulation, and a bathroom available at every whim then they are absolutely miserable. Simply riding a motorcycle is "roughing it" in the most extreme way. We riders are lucky enough to be able to get over ourselves and enjoy the simple things in life without worrying so much about all that stuff that is just not really that important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-75875922308423938292008-08-28T15:16:00.000-05:002008-08-28T15:16:00.000-05:00Words of truth.

The whole notion of vicarious adventure really does apply, and my bike hasn't had its first real adventure yet, just a commuter horse.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167102274255799726noreply@blogger.com
