Why do motorcycle rides makes me sleepy? Just curious, everytime my fiance takes me out on the back of his motorcycle I find myself instantly wanting a nap. This never happens in the car, only while on the back of the motorcycle. Maybe I find the ride relaxing? Maybe it's because I remain in the same position and movement is so limited?

How does your country's police force control motorcycle-riding criminals? The soaring cost of gas has pushed the sale of motorcycles here in Manila and its suburbs.

Our local police officials are in the end of their wits how to deal with this new phenomena. Any suggestion? I should add that traffic in Manila is always crazy, so cops in cars are no match to these thugs. Also there so many sidestreets for them to disappear in. Besides most motorbikes look the same and it would be impossible to stop every single one that look similar.

I want to take my cat on motorcycle rides with me. Is this wrong? I have a big, gorgeous Maine Coon cat. She's got a wonderful personality, and quite different for a cat. She likes to be outdoors during the daytime and follows me everywhere, no matter what I'm doing. I also have a Ducati motorcycle which I love to ride. My cat LOVES the sound of it, even though it's loud. She jumps up on the gas tank when I'm getting ready to go for a ride and I nearly have to pry her off. When I put her in the house she seems really upset, and she'll be howling when I leave. As an experiment I put a nice piece of carpet on the gas tank and she jumped on and rode with me around the block and loved it. I found a company who made a helmet for her and paid big $ for it. I also made a little safety harness for her. The point is that my cat LOVES riding with me and jumps on the bike the second I start it up, but I'm getting some rather annoying remarks from more than just a few people about taking the cat on my rides. Suggestions? To sgallus: I forgot to mention that I found a pair of swimming goggles which were MADE FOR A DOLL. With just a minor modifiication they turned out to be a purrrrfect fit :) Also fitted her with earplugs. The Ducati's fairing shields her almost entirely from the wind... BTW I'm a very conservative rider.... no knee-dragging around curves.
