It's hard to explain to non-moto inclined people what the attraction to motorcycles is.  Not entirely sure, but I think moto-mania may be a genetic trait, because it's so hard to make a rational explanation for it.  Doesn't really matter anyway -  I stopped trying to explain it a long time ago.  In my opinion you've either got the motorcycle gene, or you don't - not much you can do about it either way.  If you do have the motorcycle gene, then you can probably identify with quote from Jack London below as well.
