why ride a motorcycle the question was for ??? ??? onto my brain, when i was almost killed few years ago by a drunk driver i couldn't justify the question "Why do i ride?" when i come to ????? ??? i thought never to ride again, and sold the cruiser within a month ????? the question became "Why not ride?" the answer was "To live" a few years after the close call Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman run around the world on beamers and film the whole thing i was hooked again before i can buy another bike, i had to make a list of pros and cons for my wife the list of cons was huge.
