There's  a cracking tunnel on the a55. After ST4 I went through it and had no other option than to drop to 3rd while still doing 70mph. Great sound from the wee with a cut peashooter. bloke in the done up clio didn't exactly like me showing up his pile of poo car.

Hmmmmm sorry bout this, but I've a (slight) fetish about my bike's chain being slightly moist using chainsaw oil being fed by my fitted ScottOiler device.
It's nearly obsessional with me having a lovely lubed/moist chain!

Even after a short or long bike ride first thing I do is slightly lube the chain with chainsaw oil manually, every link, yes I know, it's sad eh, but I utterly love it!!

(p.s. Men in white coats etc.......take me away).

For me....In the past, when I still had my CB100, I really liked kicking it over to start it.

Yeah, I fookin hated my unreliable piece of shite CB100 as well. I really liked kicking it over (and over) too when it wouldn't start (again). I was so pleased when it got nicked, I went out to the pub to celebrate.

I like to feel the bike tyres when I get home to see how warm they are. If they are nice and hot I know it's been a good ride. Also I like to see how near the edge of the tyre I've got.

My Mt03 also give a lovely pop poping sound on the over run as the throttle closes and I love that!

I also like it when I'm riding my shitty Chinese 125 commuter bike and I still manage to overtake lotsaof cars. That gives me a smug grin as I pass all the succ=ker in their cages.

Guilty pleasure is filtering through a queue of traffic but not right to the front. If there is a nice gap then I sit one car back and as soon as the lights change rip through it giving the car drivers at the front a surprise :grin:

On my daily commute to Bradford, I've to pass alongside Marley sewer works, round about the halfway point.
It either wakes me up or cause an upshift of the throttle - I suppose you can get used to it, but I don't know if that means my smell have been de-sensitised  :shock:

Doing 78mph past average speed cameras on motorways and knowing there's nothing anyone can do about it!

I'd say my unusual biking pleasure is being able to smell things when I'm riding along. Even if they aren't always the most pleasant smells it's still fine. I like when I go past a farm and I can smell that it's a farm you're going by or when you pass someone on a 2 smoke engined bike/scooter and you can smell it :)



I spend a lot of time in the country and really enjoy the smells, fresh cut hay, the damp air rising from a creek early in the morning, even going past the dairy isn't bad ((glad to be going 50 or so-would not want that smell as long as it would last while walking past)

Sometimes when she is on the centrestand and I am cleaning/chain lube or whatever, I pause and just look her over-I know she's no beauty but I do enjoy just looking at her.
