How much is motorcycling a part of your life?

Do you see yourself still riding 5,10,15, 20, 30 years from now?

I work at a bike shop, my uncle worked at a bike shop, my dad was car guy...he was the black sheep

I see myself riding for as long as my body lets me

I'll be riding and doing track days until I can't or for some reason it becomes no longer fun for me....

Its a hobby. When I lose interest, i'll stop.

I'll keep riding until I can am no longer physically capable of riding. And then I'll get a Goldwing trike

I guess I'm old enough and have been riding long enough where I'm not going to automatically put up a "OMG iMa gONna b RiDiNGz 4eVa!!!

Never thought about it as a hobby or considered when I'm going to give it up. Don't do it for social reasons, adrenaline chasing and not once have I ever considered giving it up.

It's kinda of a confort thing. I feel more confortable, even safer travelling by MC. Toss on top of that the whole perception of your surrounding thing...I'm not a big fan of travelling in a sensory deprivation vessel.

There are a bunch of other reasons I could list, but I think I'm going to leave it at "Shooting for the 50 years of riding" mark.

32 years and counting.

Doubt I'll stop any time soon.

Pushing 20 years now and still love it, I def dont see myself stopping anytime soon. esp with me wanting to do so many more trips to different places. Plus the camaradre of all the guys and gals I ride with up here.

I'll ride as long as I can. Over 20 years so far.

Whenever I do give up riding I'll be that old grey headed guy that can barely walk...crawling out of the Viper...Cobra replica...911 Porsche or supercharged Vette I'm pretty sure.

I don't plan to ever give up performance vehicles.

probably won't stop unless I physically can't or it's just uncomfortable to do it anymore.
