Why Ride?

I learnt to ride a motorcycle when I was 15. Few times over the years, have I felt the rush and delight that comes with riding. Sometimes, when SCUBA diving, rock-climbing or skiing, we felt that same thrill of acceleration, of living-in-the-moment. To share this with my family and friends is one of the great pleasures of life.

Today, I dont have the physical fitness of an 18 year old. But we can still get the rush from that time. My pleasure is built around long-distance riding, often over 1000 kilometres per day, or even 1000 miles per day. This blog is about the feeling and motivation of long distance motorcycle riding.
