I believe the attraction to the motorcycle is three fold. First is the art of the bike as I refer to it, the thrill you get just looking at them. Second is the mechanical which you either get or don't. Third is the ride, closest to flying we can experience. Put them together and they are hard habits to break.

Each of us is affected differently and by degree. I know there are pure riders, pure collectors and pure mechanics. Most of us I think have some of each.

I think I will always have a motorcycle in the garage even beyond the point that I can ride it. To visit and remember.... Maybe more then one.

Bubbleboy, I have never heard it put into words better than you did. You described exactly how I feel. Well said!
I've been telling people what you said in your last statement for years.
