It can get your blood racing but that is not totally it. For many bikers riding a motorcycle is not a hobby or need, it’s Passion. It is hard to explain but only those that have the innate passion will understand. All we want in life is to travel to every corner of the world on our motorcycle. There is a deep fire inside to ride. Yes because riding is enjoyable, bikers will not mind devoting a good amount of time and income for their motorcycles and trips.
Riding a motorcycle also gives you a sense of freedom. You are in total control of the moment, you are not just riding, you are flying and there are no set limits to stop you. You can travel to any place with complete freedom. It lets you be you without anyone’s permission. You're just like a kid who was always restricted to his space but as soon as he gets on his bicycle, it’s the moment of freedom, he now breaks those chains and flies through the street on his bicycle with the widest smile on his face. It might sound like a cliche but it’s true, when on your bike you experience the open air with the wind brushing through your face, all the colors around is vivid and vibrant. The sound of the motor and the vibration which you feel. The obscured view going on around you. It’s an embracement of senses and acts as oxygen to your soul. We just love it, the sheer enjoyment of being on a motorcycle.
Some may feel a adrenaline rush with the speed but this cycle girl does not really ascribe to that.
However, it does becomes an excellent avenue for friendships, Brotherhood/Sisterhood. You will meet some of the nicest people on your rides. When you ride a motorcycle you always wave even when you don’t know each other which is not something car drivers often do. No matter which motorcycle you are riding nor does it matter from which part of the country you belong, there is always the bond that gets motorcyclist together. They are always willing to help each other at any point of time.
A motorcycle takes away all the tension and stress, like you have rebooted your system. Riding brings a sense of calm and ease to your mind and body. Also, many refer to their bike as their therapist, you feel energised and refreshed after each ride. It is a therapy, a way of life that helps bind love for a couple riding together. You forget everything that has been bothering you.
There is no age bar... I have seen motorcyclist who are in their 80's still riding.
People suffering from different physical injuries forget their pain when they are riding. All of the activities involved in steering a bike, moving it at slow speeds, etc., serve to strengthen muscles in the abdomen and also helps you with, healthier, stronger knees and thighs. You burn calories while setting up things before a ride or while pampering your motorcycle with a wash & waxing. It requires effort while riding to maintain balance, shift, brake, control the clutch, battle headwinds, etc. which ultimately burns a lot of calories and also strengthens those muscles. It helps you actually stay healthy.
It is a life passion that I plan to keep doing until I can not!
