Kind of depends on why you ride though, doesn't it?

I don't know what you would define as other wonderful experiences, but I suspect that someone rotten like me can't appreciate them. The madness of gambling with my life for no benefit at all is specifically why I ride. Appealing to a part of me that wants very much to die and be done with all. And appealing to the part that doesn't want to die, and forces me focus everything on the act of riding itself. Not the landscape, not the experience, but the act in of itself.

Apologies if it's strange to read, I have a difficult time trying to explain it... this is about as close as I can describe it, without writing long paragraphs.
