Ruff tuff mc bikers have t-shirts, decals n stuff that say "Cars are Cages". I find this to be true. Sitting in traffic in a car is humiliating. It goes against a lot of stuff I believe in.
The older I get, the more I question the wisdom of people choosing to waste so much time ~ time they will never get back~ in such a negative and soul crushing way.
The bike is the ultimate act of freedom. No 'official documents' involved, no restrictions, I can go anywhere in ninja-like stealth with the added bonus of feeling good when I get off the bike. I think being a bird is the only thing that would give you a better method of travel
