Homeless and all

I ride horses as well and get the same feeling. I think that horse/bike and rider become one as we are physically connected to what we are riding. It's not like a bicycle as we have to move our legs to pedal. Also, as everyone knows, we have to fight the brain that says 'counter balance' when we go into a curve on our bikes. We actually defy physics as we lean with our bikes at speed. I agree with the old/bold thing. It applies to riding horses as well. Most other folks think that that bikers, by the fact that we ride motorcycles, are too bold anyway.

Scariest thing I've ever seen on a bike? Bikers coming out of a biker bar and mounting up and taking off. You know they didn't dring iced tea in there. One even had a child with him and no helmet on him. We have helmet laws in PA. U.S.A.

Happy trails and ride safe.
