Starting up an engine properly, none of this poncey ECU business, one where you have to ballance the throttle, choke and ignition just right, resulting in a huge roar followed by that rythmic thudding modern engines just can't match.

Bonus points if you have to use your third arm to fiddle with the advance at the same time.

And Zip-ties, hours of fun!

There was a rainbow on my drive home a few nights ago. A complete arch in really bright colours. It put a big smile on my face.

Bubble wrap and the popping thereof.

The first spd pedal/cleat click as you roll off on a ride that signifies it's time to get moving.

A random smile/look from a stranger.

The first swig of a properly cold lager on a hot day sat outside.

Taking a photo & knowing it's gonna be a corker without having to check it on the display.

etc.....etc.....there's more than I thought.

Half way home on my commute, the tarmac ends and the grit track starts with a satisfying sound of tyres on grit. Aural bliss.

A great shuffle sequence on my Ipod.
A headwind shifting to behind me.
The first beer on a Friday night.

Plus quite a few of the above.

getting a cheeky flash of a womans thong/knickers when your walking/cycling/shopping behind them.

the random weirdo's in your town who compleatly go against convention/sense.

second the random odd shuffle sequence on ipod that just keeps playing the exact songs your in the mood for.

hearing a two stroke mx bike on full chat in the distance

the smell of chipshops in the distance, on the evening air.

top fuel dragsters launching

when a classic tune comes on the radio,that you havent heard for donkeys
as your driving along and it brings memorys back as you crank it up and just grin ๐Ÿ™‚
