Brilliant article.
My favourites:
The pleasure is starting your bike's engine for a long-distance ride on a cold morning and listening to its steady comforting idle while you prepare for the ride.
The pleasure is in cleaning the visor at a tea stop and seeing the world clearer through it as it had never been before.
The pleasure is when the group gets together weeks after a long ride and talks about it like it happened just yesterday.
The pleasure is when you take off your riding jacket for a break, and feel the breeze dry your sweat.
