What Is Motorcycling About to You?--One Word Answer Required
« on: March 22, 2013, 09:02:13 AM »
So to remove the gloom and doom of motorcycle problems I am asking the question below.

What appeals to you about it, especially the SOHC bikes? I actually got this from the ST-Owners Forum, and liked the concept.

What Is Motorcycling About to You?--One Word Answer Required. Or maybe two words

My response is

Awareness. Thrilling.

I can't really put it into one word.  I can only best describe it as the feeling your dog has when it is riding shotgun with it's head out of the window.
