Why Do You Ride Your Bandit?

Why Do You Ride?
I guess for most of us there are several answers but I thought I'd ask the question and see what cross section of the population us Bandit riders make up.

Personally I ride for the freedom and the sensory connection riders experience. I ride for the comradeship in groups and for the solitude on my own.

Sports bike and cruiser riders may ride for different reasons.

What's your reason?

It's like sex! Because I can, and I LOVE doin it!

Because I love the look on peoples faces as they try to figure out what the hell it is...

I love travelling, and doing it on the bike gives me a sense of freedom.

It also allows me some solitude, and time to get away from all the normal stress's of life

cause my wife says
"lets go for a ride tomorrow"

that and cause I like it no other reason really

When I stop liking it, I'll stop doing it

When i ride i dont worry about the past or what the future may bring, just love to enjoy the right here, right now moment of riding.

As I keep telling my wife "it is one of the sacrifices I make for my family,so as she can have the car to get the kids around and such" my wife, being the wife that she is destroys this obviously highly important consideration, by pointing out we have two cars

Dink

I started riding in 1996 for two reasons. I'd always wanted to, I think it's in the blood, and because at the time it was cheaper than owning 2 cars.

I ride now because, I love riding and I hate driving, strangely in some ways I don't feel safe driving a car. I ride a Bandit, because IMHO there isn't another bike on the market that suits my needs.
