Exhilaration!

The wind whistles by; the constant rain hammers against your helmet; your bike purrs steadily, and the miles pass by quickly; the bike handles solid; the mountain roads you traverse are green, picturesque; it's sheer exhilaration. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that you would trade this experience for. Some of the motorists that you pass by look at you; admiration is recorded on some of their faces as they see the gleaming beauty that's your bike. You notice it with quiet pride; you now know for sure that performance is not the only thing that attracted you to this bike in the first place - the looks took you in too.
