Dallas, TX USA I've had two or three motorcycle rides in my time. I was very impressed with the immediacy of smells--far more than riding in a car or walking along. Jill, 59
Saylorsburg, PA USA I had one very brief ride on a motorcycle on campus when I was an undergraduate. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR USA I would legalize same-sex marriage and eliminate all laws regulating sex between consenting adults. I would push for new ammendments to the Constitution: one would guarantee the reproductive rights of women and another would prohibit discrimination in the law based on real or perceived gender, sexual orientation, religion, creed, socioeconomic class, race, national origin, health, ethnicity, disability, and marital status. I would also push for an ammendment that would require all large businesses and corporations to pay employees a living wage that will vary from location to location based on the local cost of living. I would change government policy so that the obvious existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life would no longer continue to be covered up. I would end the Drug War and instead make drug dealing a legitimate business that is heavily regulated by the government. Taxes on drugs would pay for government regulation that would require drugs to be made purely and then marked clearly by name, side-effects, possible dangers, and safer dosage for different body types. I would discourage laws that regulate morality and encourage laws that regulate unfair business practices. In this way, I'd hope to make America a much

My brother had a small motorcycle when we were in our young teens. I used to ride it a lot and do tons of donuts in the sand. I wiped out more than once and it was tons of fun. Have never ride a motocycle as an adult.

I rode on the back of a motorcycle several times as a teenager. It never failed that I burned my leg on the tail pipe. Luckily the scars have faded.

The first and last time I ever rode on a motorcycle was when I was five years old and on a family trip at Martha's Vineyard. My dad rented one and he let me ride on the back as he rode up and down the street with it. I was scared out of my mind.

No. They look a bit intimidating to me.

I rode on the back of a motorcycle once. I can't drive or ride a bicycle (and I have trouble walking) and the feeling of freedom I had riding fast on a motorcycle with the wind blowing through my hair was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had.

NO I DON'T OWN A MOTORCYCLE AND NEVER WOULD AS I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF TOO MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. MY SON'S BEST FRIEND WAS KILLED ON A MOTORCYCLE AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 18 AND JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL 3 MONTHS BEFORE.

I don't own one, but I have ridden them before. This guy, Ernie, that I dated years ago had one, I forgot what kind but it was nice. I can remember one time we were out riding on some back roads and he went so fast, I could barely hold on to him. It scared me a little but it was so fun. There were no boundaries like a roof, doors, a floor, or windows. You were just out there, with the wind whipping around you. It felt good. I'd say if I ever came into a large some of money, say I won the lottery, I would probably buy one. After I bought a new car. Or whatever. That's, another question.

I have never owned one. Have ridden some on many occasions. I love them, but they can be really dangerous -- just like a gun in the wrong hands, or a car for that matter.

Own, no. Ridden on, yes -- I used to date someone with a motorcycle. However, after taking a ride with him through Greenwich Village at 10 p.m. on a Friday night I told him I never wanted to do that again.

I used to have a small Honda motorcycle that I drove. But getting older and the traffic in NJ has increased so I no longer ride a motorcycle. It's been probably 20 years since I last drove a bike.

I used own motorcycles and plan on getting another one in the next year or two. Taking a ride on a bike is such a great form of relaxation.
