Ok mebbe these aspects of human evolution are what I love the most, after music... Or mebbe at an equal level, depending on my state of mind...
Was just going thru an article by James May on the Top Gear website... He wrote some stuff about a CBR1000RR..
What we lesser mortals know just as a Fireblade...
Point being, ive had some debates with frnds on Bike vs. Car... and I agree that both are capable of taking you to amazing levels of mental awareness!
They can both give u the adrenaline rush and the overall experience, but they arent without their certain drawbacks...
1. Cars are much bigger and cumbersome to handle in traffic with their width
2. Bikes have a very very narrow, almost non-existent... safety margin (First person, third person experiences)
3. Cars are way to expensive to buy AND to run...
4. Bikes cannot corner as qucikly as cars can...
5. Cars are definitely preferable in bad weather...of any kind !
6. Bikes have an amazing riding position...
7. Cars have stereos !
8. Clutches and gearshifts are easier on the bike !
And so on n so forth... But the bike can give you a distinct experience that the car cannot...
Bikes are liberating ! No two ways about it...
Be it a 60 cc scooty, a 150 cc bike or a 1000 cc monster...Bike rides are liberating...
So much so, that after a long drive (in my car) I long for a small 5 min ride (on my bike)...
And long rides liberate too !
Looking forward to my next one ! Mebbe after the rains are over...(If they started in the first place, that is...)
And I dont mind havin a Porshce 911 Turbo or a Ferrari 430 Scuderia either !
