I started with a Trail 110, refused to own a car for years after i hit 18, but eventually got tired of being at the mercy of the elements
through most of my marriage I was bikeless, not because I didn't want one, but because my wife spent all the money
I got back into it becasue I got tired of working on durn complicated cars (and lost the wife, not that I count it a loss)
and now I ride a scooter with a ton of tupperware and FI
Honestly I'n not that good in the twisties anymore but I like the sweepers
Mostly though i just cruise along in a relaxed manner
