Why do we ride?

You can say what you want but if you are honest with yourself, it all comes down to that smile. That smile you get when you go really, really fast.

Not necessarily fast as in 140 mph, but fast none the less. It might just be going from 0 to the speed limit faster than you've ever gone before. It might just be giving the bike a little gas and passing that annoying person in the tricked out sports car. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you get that smile.

The trick is to get that smile and not get into trouble.

Conversely, a big smile can make it look like you've actually been up to no good. Like having just ridden 140 mph. Didn't know you were such a speed demon!

Sometimes I ride to live up to my reputation. Not sure that's entirely healthy.

For the record, the highest I have ever gone is 90-92 mph. Still too fast but not that much faster than what was on the Interstate with me :)
