Provided they live close enough
I hate driving, too. It's boring, tedious, and often makes me sleepy if I'm at it for very long. In one of life's cruel ironies, I'm also an excellent driver. (Thanks, God
) Stick, auto, trailered, towing, forwards, backwards, on-road, off-road, double clutching, wheeled, tracked, waterborne, whatever, I can drive it, and I can drive it well.
My preferred method of transporation for long distance is also a bike, albeit one with an internal combustion engine. I
love riding motorcycles. Especially really, really, fast ones. I go places I don't even need to go just so I can ride my motorcycle; or at least I did, before some a-wipe stole it from me. When I get my new CBR-1000 I am keeping it in the
garage.
I'm not even going to go into all the reasons motorcycles are wonderful because this post would be intolerably long.
Other than that, I prefer to travel by horse. Nothing beats the feeling of being totally in-tune with such a powerful animal. A well-trained horse will often literally
know what you want before you do. It's almost impossible to describe, which is just as well for you guys because my essay on horses would be ten times as long as my essay on motorcycles.
For the moment, I drive around in a tan '04 Kia Spectra. I don't like it, it doesn't like me, and I can't wait for the day when I can get rid of it, but the dang thing runs like a dream. For $2000, it was a pretty good investment.
edit- Whoops! Almost forgot, riding a horse also gets you points with frau kaleun. Beat that, Sky :P
