This is a shout-out to all you (motor) bikers out there that have pulled out your bikes for the sunny season. It is good to see you on the road. I am happy in my little honda civic but I appreciate the way you live life full throttle. You remind us that driving is not just the easiest way to get to work, it is something we can really enjoy doing. So, for to those of us who enjoy the privilege of driving a car (and the bus strike was a reminder of just how good we car folks have it), roll down the window, turn the music up and enjoy it even if you’re just sitting in traffic. —Happy to be Driving a 5-Speed

🙁 I wish this was about me…
seeing them all over the place, I’m a sad panda.
Of all the fond memories of the time I spent on the back of bikes in my youth (yeah that was soooo long ago, haha) the one that sticks out the most is burning my shin on the exhaust pipe!
Ah misty water coloured memories …
My favourite thing is getting in the car and turning the music up! You’re not alone OP 🙂
I have a scar on my shin too…. from the foot peg scraping down as my back tire wobbled and I ate the grass.
ah… those were the days.
here’s to staying upright through 2012!
