I LOVE riding because you do more than just SIT there.

There are still manual shift cars for those that want them (few do). You are describing recreational riding. If you are on a motorcycle, you are NOT just sitting there. You are travelling, very fast if you want, lane splitting in states that allow it during rush hour. You still get the sound and the vibration, and the road feel. When you are done, you are ten or 200 miles away from where you started, and you spent hardly any money on gasoline.

It's not for me, I love just sitting in a 1970 Olds 98 or 1961 Imperial with extra room, six walls, and four wheels, but I respect the reasons that people choose motorcycles, and I doubt it is just for the shifting for most.

You’re right.

I love riding, more than just shifting.

But I used to have an OLDS 88. It was brown, and hubby and I named it “The Moose”. I loved that car.
