I just find myself drawn to them. No other machine offers such a 'bang-for-buck' bargain as a motorbike. No stupid electronics to get in your way, no creature comforts like A/C, stereo's...or even seatbelts and a headrest. Just the visceral experience of sitting on top of an engine and hugging a gas tank while hurtling yourself through the corners, scraping your knees on the ground at triple-digit speeds.
Anyway, here she is, fairings off for a brief hibernation as I upgrade a few bits in anticipation for spring and the release of the ball-and-chain that is school.
With fairings on, it looks like this:
Just picked it up in Seattle and brought it up here to Canuckistan. A few minor mods has it putting out 172 horsepowers at the back wheel, enough to rocket it to an honest 190-something miles an hour. Not that I expect to be seeing those speeds....often, anyway.

I would love to have a bike inside my house, if nothing else for pure decoration. You got the description of bikes perfectly; there's no need for creature comforts when you're having so much fun. Good riding weather is so close I can almost smell it.
My dads was in the living room too here at winter. It so nice to see a big bike as the first thing when you step in 
. Eventually I'll get a fairly modern 4-stroke street bike, so I can experience a bike that can actually turn, but right now it's fun hauling ass across open ranch land in the Flint Hills.
