Likes – What do you like?

[Anonymous]

We have had a “what are your dislikes” thread where you can have a rant at whatever is pissing you off. And this may have already been done but how about we change tact and have what do you like, but lets make it bike / riding related.

Cause everyone already knows that we all like beer, rum, sex etc (in whatever order you please)

I know it sounds a bit lame and all, but who really needs negativity all the time.

I will go first:

I like Sunday mornings when the weather is cool and I am heading out riding for day on a fresh set of tyres and a freshly serviced bike.

(and I am not hung over from drinking too much beer and rum and rooting all night:laugh: )

I love the smell of Castor based oils running through a smoker first up sunday morning in the crisp air as we’re gearing up, reminds me of my childhood.
I love the sound of a smoker on the pipe going up through the gears.
I loved the look of joy on my 8 yr old sons’ face a few weekends ago when he smashed his first knarly (even by adult standards) greasy hill.
I love the feeling of showin’ some of the younger blokes the way for 20 minutes sometime when I find the “zone”, and I love the looks on their faces when the lids are removed and they flat out admit they couldn’t touch me, doesn’t happen much these days but when it does .
I also love the sound of a thumper being ridden hard. :blush:

I used to love watching Mick Doohan play with the best in world then waltz away easily, cause I knew him when……

I love catching up with old mates from “back in the day” at track days.

I usually like most things about bikes and the people who also enjoy them.

Good stuff Mr Blue.

I also like the sound of a four stroke getting a good flogging, I also like the sound that a four stroke makes going down a hill under compression.

I also like nailing a hill that looked near impossible.

I feel like going for a ride now:)

And my most favourite thing about riding – when you pull the most excellent wheely – now that is gold.

Give you a hint T/B, Michael D is exactly one month older than me and we used to be in the same age class as teenagers, and he was just a grid filler then, then I went to the castrol 6 hour and watched him come into form on a RZ500 in tacky green colurs, couldn’t believe it was the same bloke. Then IO followed his career like you would when one of the blokes you used to ride against “makes it” all the way to the top. determination, talent and brains with an excellent mentor backing him was the key. After Gardner put him down, then he trounced Gardner and never bad-mouthed him. An all round champion in anyones book.

I also love camping with the family and riding with my mates.

I love the first touch of a cool southerly on a summers night.

I love the fact that I can ride, pedal or surf in my own backyard.

I love the way that technology can bring like minded people together who may otherwise have never met.

And most of all I love this country, we are very lucky.

I love the sound of my young fella (4) saying “Dad whats this do” when we are tinkering in the shed.
I love the feeling when you open your eyes in the swag and your head doesnt hurt from the session you and ya buddies turned on the night before.
I love the sound my bike makes when you press that wonderful little start button,I call it the fun button ,apparently she who must be obeyed has one of them,,go figure
I love the friday arvo walking to the car park feeling.
Most of all I love my family,, mates come a close second.

sammy and my dog, tonka…the two best people in the world:kiss:

eating good mexican or chinese

adrenalin rushes…in general
