Read this somewhere and it stuck. Someone referring to motorcycling just as a hobby does not understand.

A mistress is a hobby...Motorcycles are life

To some motorcycling is just a hobby or less. They are the people who have a bike squirreled away in a shed or under a tarp, ride a few weekends a year for maybe 1,000 miles, have no interest in learning how to ride proficiently or care for the bike, but love to sport their biker clothing. That is a hobbiest.

Hobby Riders: The folks that won't ride unless it's 80 degrees and sunny. Bikes are absolutely pristine. 10-year-old bike has like 800 miles on it.

Unfortunately for the mc industry. The true advocate is dwindling in numbers.

Some people die living, some live to die. All about choices.
That doesn't mean going out and meeting ones end on the MC, just means riding is living.

From another perspective are the overzealous. Anyone who takes anything too fanatically be it football, religion, motorcycling, etc., is either boring or dangerous and is either way a person to be avoided in conversation and company.

I was going to say:
Allowing a cold, inanimate object that spends most of its time
in an unheated garage to define who and what you are as a
person?
That describes someone too shallow to be capable of any
meaningful interpersonal relationships.
But that whole Live to ride. Ride to live. bullshit just sounds
like a tag line on a lifestyle advertisement.
Sadly, many buy into the trap without figuring it out for
themselves.
Ive been riding nearly 40 years. Its been a very large part of
my life and will continue to do so. But given different circumstances, it could just as easily been a surfboard.

True Dat, which is why I prefer jetskis over snowmobiles.

Do you mean you prefer "Lake Lice".
Us barefooters just can't seem to get rid of them.

My father raced, my uncles rode, both my grandfathers rode..my mother rode. I had no choice, it’s genetic. I’ve been riding since I was 13 and I just turned 65.
Mistresses are more expensive in the long run.

I never go more two days without riding.
I need a car to haul stuff home from the store and when the wife doesn't want to travel by bike. If I didn't have those two problems I wouldn't own a car at all. I am thinking I need a third bike too.
Now I got myself thinking.....hhhmmmmm.
