Conversation 103 - The Bike

Howard: Hi, Todd.
Todd: Hey, how's it going, Howard? So I heard that you're really into motorcycles.
Howard: Ah, yes, I love motorcyles. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 15 years old.
Todd: Oh, really. Wow! So, what's the allure of motorcycles?
Howard: Freedom. I like the fresh air. I like being out on my own. And I just like the feeling of riding on a bike. It's like a bicycle without having to pedal and you go a lot faster.
Todd: Yeah, that's for sure. Do you have any good motorcylcle stories?
Howard: About 10,000 of them.
Todd: Well, have you ever like taken a special trip on a motorcycle?
Howard: I've been all over the East coast of the United States, from Pennsylvania to Florida on a motorcycle.
Todd: Oh, wow.
Howard: Yeah, I've travelled many times and many different kinds of roads, and taken all kinds of camping trips on bikes.
Todd: Wow, sounds great. So do you usually travel alone or in a group?
Howard: Almost always I go alone. Some guys like to travel together but I found I enjoyed it by myself most of all.
Todd: Oh really. Oh, wow. Don't you get kind of lonely?
Howard: Never, there's always a new adventure on every trip.
Todd: Have you ever made any special friends out on the road?
Howard: Sure, bikers are like a special kind of fraternity. Every biker knows each other, and we're all very clos,e even though we're not close.
