I've seen a return in 10 minutes, no need to wait 6 weeks.We have a little old lady at the aged care facility in Nimbin. She asks where is she, how long has she been there, who pays for everything? After 10 minutes of answering these questions, she looks blank for a second and then asks the same questions again!

Why do I ride? This is easy.....
I'm adrenaline junkie plain and simple.

Getting my fix is easier than it use to be.
Now all I have to do is start the darn thing and my blood starts pulsing.

Better than any street drug out there.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

The places I like to be are often too far to walk.

Cool! Now we're down to the question, Why do you ride?

I guess for me it is down to the leaning. I need to put a disclaimer with this statement to say that I'm not particularly good at it but that seems to be what's more fun than going somewhere in a motorized four wheel vehicle. There is the heightened sense of moving through the air as well.
