Of course people buy bikes for different reasons, what's yours?


For me, i ORIGINALLY bought my bike not knowing much about motorcycles, and practically never riding before. I thought the bike sounded cool, looked great and would be a cool thing to cruise around town on while at the same time pulling some hoes.

After having my bike for a few months i was introduced to riding corners and such, which is really what my bike is made to do (Honda RC51). Since then, cruising around town, riding at night, going to meets and stunt shows don't really appeal to me as much anymore, mainly because i enjoy cornering so much. I think it's a really cool feeling to know that you're just inches off the ground at a pretty high rate of speed and in control. I, personally, think how well you can corner on a sport bike tells a lot about your own personal riding skill (mainly because there is a lot more skill and such involved in riding twisties than going down the highway at 180.. and im not saying it's wrong to like that, it's just not my style and everybody is different). I'm not trying to say that i'm the man at it either, because i know i have A LOT to learn. Furthermore, since then, i've met an awesome group of people that i've become really close with as well (i think that comes with anything you do with motorcycles because it seems like it's almost a family) Anyway.. Basically, I'd much rather go out and have fun than have my bike be a status symbol that i just ride to a spot and be seen.

I guess it just really comes down to what you enjoy, i know corners arent everybody's thing, and that's cool. Adrenaline junkies wanting crazy speed for not much money usually turn towards sport bikes, guys who wanna go out and cruise usually turn towards something a bit more comfortable like harleys or cruisers.. and that's all cool.

Basically, just to reiterate my point, have you changed your outlook on riding since you first started riding or bought your bike? What do you enjoy the most and why?

 

i bought my bike the same..to cruise around at night and pull "hoes" but then got introduced to corner carving and what do you know it almost came to me naturally...i agree as well brandon there aint no better feeling then doin 120 130 around a long sweeper and bein meer inches off the ground and for the most part bein in total control love that shit.....i also love to do top speed runs as well as play ghost rider in traffic...thats the squid that comes out in me but i love the rush of weaving cars doin 100+ and dont tell me thats stupid thats my guilty pleasure so dont ruinin it....but thats my story...

 

I put off getting a bike for a long ass time because I didn't want to die. but then after spending time in jail for street racing and finding myself still out there doing it, even after the jail time. I needed something else to do...

so I got a bike, I've always been into corners in cars and already knew patterson very well, even crashed one up out there once. so even thou I knew corners is where most bike guys crash, 2 days after getting my bike, which was the first I've ever really riddin and it was a 1000cc. I was talked into going out to patterson at night... I still remember how fast the bike felt back then. I got tunnel vision comming off a corner and I lifed, I fucking loved it. nothing had done that for me in over 10 years.


a week or 2 later I did a north run with some people I knew from the street racing years and it was all over. it was more of a fast in the starights run than north runs are now but it was soooo much fun, I think I had a dream about golber that night lol. I'm pretty much stuck with having a bike around to play with for the rest of my life.

 

I don't like stunting, but do like watching. I wish I could wheelie...

Top speed runs are fun... but I got over that quickly...

I enjoy meeting with good friends, crusing & most of all cornering,,, it wasn't that way in the beginning... I was attracted to bike by their looks, but when introduced to corners & racing... I was hooked...

The only thing that could make it better for this spic is if someone could build me a naked with a 13b rotary in it.... any takers???

 

can i vote for all of them? thats why i bought a bike.

 

raul im sure it can be done do i hear projecct hahaha

 

i picked all except cornering
i dont really like doing that... imo

 

Yes, you sure can!!

 

I like it all.

 

dont care too much for top speed runs. But i i like it all
