For me, the adventure is in the travel...not the motorcycle.
I travel because of the unknown. I travel because of the problems I will encounter and the people I will meet while I solve those problems. I travel so that I can see the world from another person's point of view. I travel so that I may visit locations other people have only seen on TV. I travel because my comfortable daily routine never quite satisfies me.
I could do this just as easily in a car, on a boat, on a bicycle, or on foot. All are equally valid ways to meet this adventure. The motorcycle is simply my preference for how to meet the adventure of travel. I travel by motorcycle because it is exposed enough I don't have a feeling of having a "home" yet fast enough I can easily move from place to place.
