Paying The Price of Freedom

We live in troubled times. The impact of the recent fuel hike is greatly affecting the public. Buses and Train stations are brimming with people, Protests are verging on riots, complaint and whines are more apparent. It seems like the only upside to this phenomena, is the higher sales volume of bikes. I'm not just talking about the average run of the mill 125cc units, I'm talking about full on supersports, cruisers, superbikes, and streetbikes spotted on roads almost everywhere and everyday now.

Although I don't ride much to work nowadays (due to a dead license), i miss the feeling... dearly. It used to be fine because before the soaring fuel prices the road i take to work on average, I'd probably see 1-2 bikes every 2 weeks or so. Now however, on my daily drive I see and average of 4 big ones just strafing across traffic daily. I envy them, *note to self - renew licenses & get a bike* I would definitely prefer riding over anything else.

Most people would never get to know the feeling, i wish i could shout at them within the helmet and just convinced the to try it.... just once... then and only then you know you've lived.

Now everybody say:
