Life would be utterly boring if we weren’t able to do things that we enjoy doing, right? You may have all the things in the world, but if you can’t spend time and enjoy it, you are no different from anyone who is deprived of it. And when I say this, it isn’t only the big things that will fill you with joy, happiness, or peace. Now, it isn’t mandatory that things only on a grand scale will provide you with fun. On the contrary, it is the smaller, and simpler things in life that have the ability to strike a chord that resonates much deeper, providing a much higher level of gratification.
In a similar scheme of things, cars and bikes have been my passion, and I have been lucky enough to have got the opportunity to ride, and drive, some fast and exotic machines. From top-speed runs to achieving that fastest line out of a corner, it undoubtedly has been a lot of fun. But, to experience this kind of fun, one can, and should, only practice doing it in a controlled environment, like a closed circuit or a drag strip. The honest reason is, exotic machines are capable of exotic speeds, one mistake and you are in for some exotic damage. That said, wouldn’t it be nicer to experience the same level of fun and engagement in a much simpler form? We have picked two machines, which in our opinion, are the best examples out there.
