Re: What do you live for?
If all goes well I'll have one by month end. Little 125 super-moto for commuting to work and a little weekend playing.

Re: What do you live for?
On YouTube look up the Top Gear Vietnam special. For a bunch of car guys they seemed to sum up the feeling of a motorcycle road trip well.
Or if that doesn't make you want to ride look up some videos of the Swiss alps. One of the most famous roads is the Stelvio pass. We rode it a few years ago if watching that doesn't make you want to get up off the couch and hit the open road your probably already dead.

Re: What do you live for?
Good luck getting the bike Aaron. Post pics when you get it of course.
I live for my family, for myself, and to satisfy the curiousity of seeing whats out there.
When I dream of riding, I dream of riding like Graham Jarvis. (Lots of guys do stunts on trials bikes, I like how he does it on a dirt bike.)

So far, this is all I got :

I think everyone here knows what I live for. It doesn't have wheels.

Skip likes to speak to the Gods on their level; face to face (with a big smile).

Good one, Tom. At 20,000 feet in a wicker basket you hope they smile on you.
