Your comments are even more insightful than I expected when I started this thread and I am enjoying them. It's great to get so many diverse opinions and inputs from different perspectives.

Just so readers will know, I am not anti motorcycle or anti biker. In my 30 years in the Lakes region I have met many wonderful people who are motorcycle afficionados, and I really enjoy the spectacle of the whole bike week scene.

In the early 60's I owned a 150c Lambretta, tame by Harley standards but nevertheless fun and I was able to enjoy the freedom of the open road. What I remember most is the wonderful fragrances when passing lilacs or gardens, and the changes in temperature when going from a sunny area to a shady one or vice versa-- both experiences you do not get in a car.

I have also owned a 750cc Honda touring motorcycle, a 250cc off road Honda and a 250cc Yamaha also off-road.
