Question

Riding a motorcycle is a popular way to travel. A motorcycle often has better acceleration than the fastest     . A motorcycle can      traffic jams and can speed ahead while the cars wait. A motorcycle is      to run --- you need less petrol per mile for a motorcycle than for most cars.

   But this doesn’t explain why, for some people, motorcycles are      a way to travel, they are a way of life. Everybody knows about the problems of riding a motorcycle. It’s quiet dangerous. It’s very uncomfortable too. However well dressed for a ride the motorcyclist is, wind and rain make the journey difficult and     . And then, motorcycles often      .

   But the       motorcyclist doesn’t care! 

   Take a look at any motorcycle magazine and you will have an idea of what motorcycling means to the enthusiast. The keen motorcyclist may sometimes think about the       of his way of life. But he will still go ‘on the ride’ whenever he can!
