But I agree it's not for everyone. Even on two wheels there are different styles of riding. Riding a cruiser or Harley is a way different experience than what this video portrays. Those guys can carve it up too, but not normally to the degree we sport bikers do. I think riding is one of those things that polarizes people, you either love it or hate it, not much gray space in between. Carmen - You never know, you might like it.

I do a lot of adventurous stuff, but not sure I could get on a motorcycle for some reason. Looks cool, but still looks scary at the same time.

Riding is my passion so I accept the risk. Honestly though, if it hooks you there is nothing else like it. L - Well of course I'll take you "dancing!" Just bring a pair of over-the-ankle shoes and a leather jacket, I can supply the rest of the gear. So, open-ended rain check for riding and Thai food, you pick the day and I'm there. 8) M - I’ll be the first one to admit that riding a motorcycle has its dangers.

If you notice, we often move to the far side of the lane when a car or truck pulls up on the one side or the other. That's in anticipation of having to dodge out of the way. Stacie - That's not dorky! I do the same thing and it's my video! ;) Riding a motorcycle is kind of like flying in two dimensions in a way. We "pre-flight" just like in an airplane to make sure all systems are go, we worry about weight and balance and as you might have noticed, we bank when changing direction too! And we have to keep our heads on a swivel too, to make sure there's no traffic about to enter our airspace. 8) I uh... wouldn't try taking that Piper into any tunnels though...

I was sitting on the bed with the laptop (and here's where the dork thing comes in) I actually found myself leaning when you turned, and tucking my elbows in when you pulled in and out of the driveway near the cars. And that semi...damn near gave me a heart attack! The tunnels though...were the coolest! I wonder if my flight instructor would let me mount a camera in the Cherokee....hmmmm 0==(D) ok, you’re going to think I am a complete dork..i just watched the last video, (haven’t watched the new one yet) and it was sooooo cool.
