Cars are nice but really slow. For me nothing beats my turbo charged Suzuki Hayabusa. 231 hp , 0 to 150 mph in around 8 seconds and a top end of over 202 mph. All this for less than $15,000.00 installed.

Shoot me

but my most enjoyable rides are on a motorcycle (60 horses)

nothing standing between me and the wind , the sound of my 4 cylinders zooming though the scenery.
No one telling me i'm going to fast or to slow , no cars blocking my way (get passed them whenever & wherever I want), just me and my bike .

The only thing that can beat that feeling is hanggliding : that's 3D free feeling,
Motorcycle is 2D
Car is , well , let's say you're in a 4-wheeled cage

What makes driving so fun : that being self-responable for my own actions on a curby road

Before you jump on a bike let alone a Busa , first things first. A proper racing school is a must. I road raced for 11 years.
Same holds true for cars a good racing school is a must. Here in the USA anybody gets a license for around $20.00's at the DMV. That's just wrong. We are the only industrialized nation in the world that let's anyone drive a bike or car with no real training. In Germany getting a license runs you around $ 4,000.00 USD to pay for proper training. Here the thinking is the common man cannot be excluded because of a lack of funds to attend a real drivers school. That's why you see idiots in glorified station wagons sorry SUV's sitting in the fast lane going 75 with 10 cars behind him and the goober is yacking on a cell phone cause he's too cheap to buy a proper hands free unit for the car. Explain to me how they can come up with the monthly "lease payment" but can't buy a car kit for the phone.
Then when you start passing on the right I know this is wrong ,they look at you like what's wrong. This happened again to me tonight. Yet if I shoot this moron I would go to jail, how's that for fair.
