There are some people for whom driving really is something they like. It's not driving per-se but I personally enjoy motorcycling in pretty much any context whether its commuting in heavy traffic (granted, here in California that does mean I get to lane-split through lots of it) or riding for leisure. Maintaining the machine is also an aspect of it, for some people their car or bike fulfills a niche sort of analogous to a pet or a garden. Not being able to have an automobile (car or motorcycle) if frequently a deciding factor in where people choose to live.
