“In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.” -Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
You mentioned riding a bike as long as you can. I am 58 years old and I’m still riding a Ninja 1000. I don’t think that I’ll stop riding until my knees can no longer support me so I think I’ve got many more years still ahead of me, God willing! Really liked the video. Keep up the great content!
Aghh I wanna ride so damn bad! I still need the gear, endorsement, and the bike itself 😅 saving saving saving but bills keep coming, and life shit keeps happening. Keep riding brother!
Don't be in a hurry to ride fast or test your limits or to get a big bike. A big bike has no compromise. Get the basics down first. There is a lot more to learn than people think, and way more than the MSF is gonna teach you.
Additionally there's a lot of Zen in maintaining bikes as well, I feel like a lot of us gloss over the pre-ride. Inspecting before you really send it is more fun when you imagine you're pre-flighting a fighter-jet. - Which, missiles aside, sportbikes basically are. Simple things like checking pressures, chain pre or post ride can put you in a better headspace than you were before without even riding the bike.
The ninja 400 is a blast to ride! Has enough to get you into trouble, but for the most part, I can just let er eat! Smiles per gallon is off the charts.
You can still cycle as an adult. Gives most of the benefits that riding a motorcycle does plus a few more. Not saying it's the same but it sure beats driving.
Friend explained it as"If you goes too fast in a car, it will hurt your wallet. On a motorcycle the whole body will suffer." 60 years motorcycle riding. Still loves it. Cars are just transportation.
Red ninja club yeah, mines had it's gearing lowered no top speed as much acceleration as possible...... I've subbed looking forward to seeing what's new with you
@@Dsanrides so standard it's a 14 front 45 back I've got 13 on the front which is a 2 or 3 tooth reduction on the back sprocket. It only does about 140kph/88 mph but it gets there much faster than before. Check my rides trying to keep up with guys much faster than me.
