Why do people ride? It's almost impossible
to explain - because there are roads and distant towns, because we share a
sense of adventure, because we have the freedom to do it. The list of
reasons why people ride motorcycles is as long as the open road itself.
Here are some common reasons why people decide to climb into the saddle.
Adventure. There aren't many options left
for the person seeking pure, unadulterated adventure. Luckily, the
excitement-hungry can still climb on a motorcycle and ride off into the
sunset, finding the exhilaration they crave, and discovering new sights
and experiences on the open road.
Camaraderie. Not many other sports
have helped forge as many relationships as
motorcycle riding. All over the world, riders can find a sense of
community and companionship with
other riders.
Freedom. There's nothing like the feeling of
climbing atop a rumbling motorcycle and temporarily leaving your
responsibilities behind in the dust. When you're on the road, you answer
only to yourself. How you spend your time is up to you.
There are also practical reasons we ride
motorcycles. For the commuter, motorcycles receive freeway access
benefits, get great fuel mileage and are easy to park. For the touring
rider, motorcycles bring you into the world instead of enclosing you from
it. Others enjoy the challenge of riding, leaning into turns and feeling
the motor beneath them. Motorcyclists connect with other riders in a way
that goes beyond mere transportation, which is why many riders attend
events and rallies. Motorcycling is as much about people and events as it
is back roads and riding. Motorcyclists are naturally drawn to other
riders, and shared rides and experiences build the passion for the sport.
Other
aspects of the sport to take into consideration are safety, gear and
accessories.
There is a lot more to riding safely than you might think.
Even riders who have logged thousands of miles on the road can benefit by
brushing up on their safety skills. The conscientious rider will have
visibility, positioning, and S.E.E. strategies so ingrained in his or her
mind that they become second nature. That is when the riding really gets
good. The benefit of wearing protective gear when riding is obvious. It
enhances riding comfort by reducing exposure to the elements, road debris,
flying insects, and more. It also reduces the risk of injury. How much
riding gear to wear is a personal choice, but Custom Motorcycles.com
strongly recommends wearing appropriate gear every time you ride,
including a helmet that meets DOT requirements, a long-sleeve jacket or
shirt, sturdy long pants or chaps, gloves, eye protection, and
over-the-ankle boots. We also recommend that riders have rain gear or cold
weather gear with them.
