Kawasaki Ninja Zx-6R : Its complicated

I have had this prejudice towards motorcycles for a while now. They are loud. They are reckless in traffic. They hog parking space. But it had not always been so.  As a child I thought they looked amazing and so liberating, I had one time thought of riding one when I grew up. I could picture myself riding it and experience the freedom. Then reality started settling in as I grew up. I am too much of a chicken to ride one. I am afraid of falling off or getting side swapped by a semi truck. But the real reason I don't like motorcycles can been summed up three strikes: noisy, reckless and park hog.


Strike one
 Motorcycles in traffic are annoying in two ways. First, they make me nervous. They drive up too close to me especially during traffic. I feel like I am going to hit them. What if I have to change lanes and don't see them? I feel like I can't see motorcycles until they are right next me and their little lights don't help. Second, they make me jealous As I wait in the slow stream of traffic, inching forward at a snail's pace, I see them passing though traffic without a care in the world.. I would get pissed when they would gracefully glide through traffic. My resentment got to such a point were I have fantasied about opening the door and having a motorist crash right through it but then I thought about my car so the idea was scratched off.

Strike Two 
They are asshole loud, in two asshole loud ways. First, they rev their engines at the crack of dawn. I can hear them in the morning. I sometimes wake up so cranky and when I walk out I see the motorist revving up their bikes like that was suppose to me them look cool. But its morning and I really want to do is sleep and knock that motorist of his bike. Secondly, they set off car alarms as they speed by. Between that and the sound of their engines and the backfire, they create a serious noise pollution.

Strike Three
They take up huge chunks of parking space for cars. I have driven to parking lots of Wal-mart and if you ever been to Wal mart you just know how parking spaces can be so rare and when I "found" a good parking space there is this bike taking all that room which really only needed half. The same deal in San Francisco which finding parking is like finding gold. There will be times where chunk of parking on the right and left are unoccupied and the only car that would be able to park is a smart car.

Complication 
It was not until I walked out for my mid morning class that I saw her. She was so beautiful. Her color was beautiful,  her exterior body was beautiful even her tires were beautiful . Later I found out her name was Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.It was so beautiful and perfect and as I saw the guy drive off with her, the scene was just as beautiful even if the sun was just rising. Now I am not a stalker or anything I just know he parks there as I walk out for class.

What I had liked about the Japanese bike was it sporty nice and clean look. I figure if it is going to be a motorcycle it should't remind me of a bicycle. I feel like some motorcycles handles look like a bicycle and the tassels at the end do not help their case. The nice angular look and sleek body can glide through traffic without having to worry if its too bulky to pass by. Another plus for this bike is it is not asshole loud. I am able to admire it without getting a head ache. This Japanese bike gives me hope in being able to share the road with motorist in peace- as a car driver of course.
