The City Biker

Being a biker is not all positive. On the negative side, it instils a certain amount of disdain for cities and mainstream life.
From a biker's point of view, what could be so great about the city? A concrete jungle full of traffic jams and tall buildings filled with uniformed office workers, the shirts and ties putting in long hours. What's so great about having a ridiculously expensive luxury automobile or sportscar if you're just going to end up stuck in bumper to bumper traffic? What's so great about putting in those long hours of overtime to make loads of money if you'll never have time do anything meaningful with it?

A quote from Patrick Swayze's character in the (otherwise shallow) film "Point Break" nicely sums up this feeling: "It's about us against the system, the system that destroys the human spirit. We show those dead souls, inching along the highway in their metal coffins, that the human spirit survives, survives in us."

Live with Honor, Ride with Pride.
