Buy a bicycle. It's a thing, but it costs a lot less, is a lot cleaner and safer, and still gives you experiences.

- maehwasu 11y agoI've done both a lot, and there's no way you can compare riding a bike to going 250mpg on a motorcycle. Of course, like many awesomely fun things, it's quite dangerous, which is why I won't start riding again until I'm 55 or so.
- brianwawok 11y agoEver go 50 MPH down a hill on a bicycle in TT position? If all you want is scary, I think this would meet your needs ;)
- frgewut 11y agoHe was talking about mpg (miles per gallon). He seems to be a hypermiler.
- collyw 11y agoI am sure downhill mountain biking is both safer and more exciting than riding a motorbike fast on a fairly flat piece of road.
- barrkel 11y agoMotorcycles come into their own when touring (IMO). You can tour on bicycle too, but it's a lot slower (i.e. takes up more vacation time to visit the same number of different places) and more effort (especially considering bringing luggage up and over mountains). I don't have the time to tour from London to Croatia by bicycle, and there's no way I could consider it in any two-week break. I did it last summer by motorbike, and it was nothing to cross multiple mountain passes a day along the way.
