    Saw this article on MSN about why the author loves motorcycles at this link: Why We Ride: The Joy of Motorcycling - Page 2 - MSN Autos

    While it's good, take note of all the car ads and it even ends like so:

    An avid bibliophile and lifetime motorcyclist, Steve John has raced in various motorcycle series and events, including stints in multiple classes at the Isle of Man TT.

    So... they're saying motorcycles are wonderful but they want you to buy a car? :unsure:

    That sounds about right. Kind of like Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota et al advertising in Cycle World and Motorcyclist. Whatever pays the bills...

    :lol: I remember going to a motorcycle show in downtown atlanta and when I was walking in the building I saw huge Toyota ads and thought I was in the wrong building. As it turned out Toyota was sponsoring the bike show. I guess they figure those bikers need a truck to lug their bikes around...

    That's funny! I wonder if any of the bike manufacturers ever sponsor a car show?

    They make cars too? :smile:

    I need to get out more often... I can't remember the last car show, or bike show, that I went to. What year is this, anyway?
