Wow!

I thought I was the only person that felt this way!

Most of the people at work drive cars, and for the most part, so do I now that I have a car that gets more MPG's than the bike can possibly muster, so it's hard for most people to relate.

But still, your description above is exactly what I feel on a beautiful summer day, loafing along an old country road, with the sunlight skipping across the blades of shimmering green grass, butterflies fluttering about, and the wonderful smell and color of flowers spread along the sides of the road, all with a slight breeze wisping under the helmet across my face! Ahhh!

That's what a nice motorcycle is ride is all about.
