stealing this idea from Hepcat in a gear forum thread where DirtySanchez is super stoked on his new bike. post up what makes you really happy, like you can't f'in wait to get out and do it or use it kind of happy.

i'll start with… trail building. it's not so much happy dance type of happy but inner peace kind of happy. it where i can go and typically let go of everything else that's swirling around the toilet bowl of my life.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

and for excited can wait to do this right now motorcycle riding, both sport-touring and spirited pace riding on twisty roads definitely puts a grin on my face.

Making it in time to the toilet when I have to take a huge dunmp. Satisfaction doesn't get much better than that.

Also bikes, they're pretty neat I guess.

Sounds like age related degeneration.

After years of frustration, riding with the wife is now a pleasure. She actually has become a pretty kick ass rider.

Drinking beers on a patio after a summer ride. The best….

Without a doubt riding. Mtb(dh or am) Moto and trials riding rarely have me not smiling. Now combine that with a road trip(love driving somewhere) and camping and I'm truely at my happiest. Nothing better than exploring new trails and areas while camping. We've done two 10+ day road trips this year with hopefully another in the fall. Pretty stoked that I get to do this with the wife and she is totally into it too. Thankfully most of my friends and family are too so it's win,win, win.

When I'm not doing that trail work seems to do the trick.
