Bikes are fun. Its a similar situation to the novelty/comraderie/exoticness of 911's. I know some consider bikes too dangerous, but a lot of people would (and do) consider our old 911's too dangerous. But bikes have a lot of safe attributes, too, being so nimble and having great braking capabilities (911's excell here too, for cars).
I still ride although not as much as I used to. But whacking the throttle and hanging on as the tach swings past 10k rpm will bring a smile to my face anyday. You can't know unless you've been there.
