Places you'll go
Cross town or cross the country — motorcycles take you places
The places your motorcycle will take you and the way it takes you there is what keeps us all riding. Something about moving through fresh air on a nice day activates the exploratory gland, encourages you to turn down roads you'd normally drive right past, and to wind up in places you didn't know existed—many of them not even so far from home. Off-road or dual-purpose bikes in particular literally do open up a whole new world right outside your door. At the other end of the spectrum, an Internet search of "motorcycle tours" decants an even wider world of riding possibilities, from the Alps to Australia to India and everywhere in between. In a car or airplane, you pass through scenery. On a motorcycle, you become part of the scene, touching it with all five senses. Motorcycles are how man was meant to fly.
