Intriguing.

Alg8ter: I wish to hear more of your research regarding the application of vibrating objects to various places on the human body. If a research assistant was employed I'll need to see that data as well, please.

I've been seeing girls on the back of sportbikes for years. It must do something for them.

Correct!

Years ago when I got my private pilots licence I thought the girls would come running to go flying with me.
Disappointingly, that didnt really happen.
But as soon as I got my motorbike licence and a decent ride they came out of the woodwork asking to jump on the back.
The bike that is...

•I ride because it is fun.

•I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.

•I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.

•I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone.

•My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself.

•I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex.

•I will learn everything I can about my machine, so that I am reliant upon no one but myself for its health and well being.

•I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn its limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive. I am the master, it is the servant. Working together in harmony, we will become an invincible team.

•I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.

•My machines will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish as I have cherished them, whoever they may be.

•I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.

•I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others mess with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them.

•I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.

•I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can. However, if they show me disrespect, they will be slapped.

•It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.

•I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them.

•I will stand ready to help any other biker that truly needs my help.

•I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself.

•I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.

Why do I ride? Because of the Ninjee. It's a mechanism. All mechanisms speak to me. They communicate their function through their form. Form follows function. Logic is the basis of all function.

Before Rossi rides his scooter he places his forehade against it and communes with the mechanism. It hears him... he hears "it".

I don't place my forehade on my Ninjee: I stride up to her and announce, "Ninjee! Today we shall punish those found unworthy of the Road!" Ninjee primes her fuel feed, sweeps her needles, finds zero for her subs, and comes alight.

I wait for hot idle. It's a personal preference. Hot idle speaks volumes to those that can speak Ninjee. The harmonic resonance can be felt through 6" of concrete at a distance of 15 yards. That is a happy big block.

Mounted and leaving the garage: I crave the song of the primary loading up. In that moment, you are hearing that which escapes direct observation visually: a monstrous, straight-cut gear arrangement that is solely responsible for transmitting the fury of the reciprocating system.

Coming from a V-twin cruiser that scraped floor boards constantly, the Ninjee continues to delight with ever deeper excursions into harder cornering. Add to that the exponentially increased powerplant performance...


If you own a Ninjee.. you've already answered, "why do I ride?"



Yoshis!! GO NINJEE!!!
