I am in my 4 year with 2 bikes and it still is great to go without all the things required for mc riding. This is a very carefree hobby/transport. I love reading about guy's & girls that share the same feeling of riding a gas powered bike. Since I started riding, I now ride a non powered bike more than I ever did before. The exercise is what I need, so I sometimes go without the power, and get a work out.
