Riding is better.

But best is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.

Talking about bikes is just a placebo until I can get out riding again.

I swear this isn't smart a$$. We are in a forum specifically designed to talk about bikes. When we ride that time isn't directly shared back with the group. The perceptions may be altered by this notion.
