Well I always thought tractors, cars, trucks and bikes should go together. Tractors being very slow and bikes being very fast with everything else inbetween.
Bought my first one when I was 16 (BSA 175 Bantam), I just turned 60 recently and still like bikes. Currently have a Buell Firebolt 1200, Triumph Bonneville 750, Ducati 750, Yamaha xs650, BSA Lighning 650, BSA Firebird (maybe) Honda FT500 and a BSA Starfire 250.My first and several afterwards were my main means of transport to and from work summer and winter often with several inches of snow on the ground.
As others have said they are a great way of see in the country and definately a different experience to driving a car. I think you need lots of self discipline to ride a bike as even now I still find them rather addictive. I only ever ride nowadays during the few sunny days we get in Scotland and even then there is a constant concern about other road users. When I visit Canada and the US I wish I could have a bike to ride, your roads are much wider and have much less speeding traffic (apart from towns) than the UK.
Riders in the UK generally ride very powerful and fast sports bikes (very few touring bikes)on narrow crowded roads way too fast for my liking, unfortunately this has taken much of the fun out of it for me...... or have I just gotten old!! Bill

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
