What did you never think you'd miss?

Hit me on the way home... the smells!

Not just gasoline and exhaust... but riding through the neighborhood and smelling BBQ... and passing by the factories... I missed that...

[jbot]

i thought i'd never miss the smooth sounds of Genesis, but I do. Oh, but I do.

[wrillo]

I thought about starting a thread like this on my way home this afternoon.

For me it's the smells, kids waving excitedly from their cars and the dogs barking.

I miss the smell of fresh tires. Not that I just put new ones on, but when I get home, they smell that way when warm. Like mom's fresh cookies.

[GregoR6]

The smell of various outdoor grills..

The smell of wildflowers..

The smell of fresh cut lawns..

The smell of beer piss as I ride past the Budweiser factory at 71/270....Wait...

[Cdubyah]

Sound of the river flowing

[jporter12]

Birds waking my lazy ass in the morning..... Oh wait, that was a couple kids... But it was nice to hear the birds chirping when I got woke up by a couple noisy kids....

[curby]

picking up all the dog shit that the snow covered... awesome! my yard looked like a mine field yesterday...

The unmistakable high-pitched sound of the fuel pump priming just before starting the engine. If there was ever a prelude to ultimate bliss, that would be it.

But I do like hearing that on my car.

first of all, that is an excellent observation.

and i miss the feeling of riding over a bridge over a creek and feeling the slight change in air temperature over the water that you just can't feel in a car.

Some very good posts here.

The engine sucking in so much air that it sounds like a supercharger as I wind through the gears.

Man that's another great one!

Or riding down a big hill and feeling the cold air when you hit the bottom of the hill.... reminds you you're alive.

I forgot about the high pitch whine my gas cap makes after the bike is warm (vacuum petcock)

[RC51 John]

Or feeling a temperature drop and knowing you will probably be soaked before you get home.

[jporter12]

Needing to make a quick trip into town, and taking the bike instead of the car! Oh, and not getting even close to cold on the ride!
