I'm getting close to a year with the bike and I think I'm just starting to get comfortable on the street. I'm still riding like everyone's out to kill me, I'm just finding I can still have a little fun in that environment. Here's one unique thing I realized today that really made my day...
It made me wonder, what unique, enjoyable things do you like about using a motorcycle to get around?
1) There is a JUMP on the way to work. Train tracks with ramps on either side. Jumping it in a car wouldn't be advisable (I've tried), cars just have to slow down and get annoyed by it. But I can GET AIR, if only for a fraction of a second on my daily commute! Without speeding (much) even.
