It ' s Just To Have Fun Riding a motorcycle is the same as a bike except you have power . Not too many people that drive cars realize that, because riding a motorcycle is as foreign to them as riding a camel. Perhaps the reason for that is the bad reputa- tion motorcycles have. Very little of the publicity they get is positive. But riders themselves don ' t think about the bad aspects, they concentrate on the good points. As Diana Demetrius says, riding a motorcycle is different , really fun. You can go on long rides and not worry about any- body . The unpredictable weather can cause some problems for a motorcyclist that rides his bike to school on a sunny morning and ends up riding home in a rain storm. What does he do? Ken Wytas faces the situation realistically. There ' s nothing you can do except get wet. It ' s something you put up with . There are a few rare riders like racer Bob Bourget that don ' t mind wet weather. It ' s pretty fun in the rain. One cold morning while you ' re sitting on the nice warm bus imagine how it feels to be riding against the wind at 35 m.p.h. on a motorcycle. If a cyclist is lucky enough to have special equipment like leg shields, and is dressed for the conditions, he stays pretty warm but if he doesn ' t have the equipment he just gets out there and rides. It ' s like any other sport, you ' ll get warm . Another hazard riders face is bugs. As they ride, there is a good chance they ' re going to run into a few. After the trip is over many of them can be found cleaning off their helmets. There ' s no doubt that people who ride motorcylces face uncomfortable problems. Compared to cars, motorcycles are both economical and practical. They ' re helpful to the frugal because they don ' t use as much gas as cars. They ' re also good for the person that doesn ' t like to walk from the end of a crowded parking lot to their destination. Motorcycles fit almost anywhere. Ken likes summer riding, When it ' s warm out it ' s good to ride a bike. You don ' t have to worry about opening the windows. Or the car being 100° inside when you come out of a store. There is a side to motorcycling only a cyclist can under- stand. The feeling of being all alone on a stretch of highway and being able to hop on or off whenever he wants. Sure there are dangers but most motorcyclists are on that ma- chine for one reason, just to have fun . 22 1.
