Just taking a raod to see where it goes.
Acceleration
Being able to pass a BMW that is trying to race you. Oh did I mention Im on one wheel looking at em while passing em.
Turning around to give a set of twisties another try cause you know you could of did better.
Knowing it's going to be a cold ride home if you don't turn around and head back. but keep going on.
Sitting at a long light and watching the temp come back down after almost over heating after taking off. WHEW!
People always checking out the bike

I'm a lil' older now, so some of my faves have moved up on the list.
Gear, man, I love it. I love putting it on, I love wearing it, I love riding in it, I love walking outside the house in it, I love the way it makes other people pause to notice...the leather gloves, armored leather jackets, stupid beautiful helmets, boots that feel like a second armored skin, OMG I love every bit of it.

+1!
It's funny when a group of you grab some lunch or something and when you walk inside, everyone inside turns around to look 
And to add on to the list:
- The feeling of the cool morning air as it whooshes through the helmet and jacket vents, simply beautiful
- A little different, but after a long day of riding (I don't commute on my bike), I love the feeling of driving/relaxing in my car. Then that feeling wears off after a day or two

+1 on that. If I could find my camera cord I'd show you guys some beautiful views of last weekend when I went riding with my brother. There is nothing like having the option of going anywhere you want, and not having to go a certain place. Being able to be going somewhere, see a good road and just take it. Freedom.
I've seen many versions and variations of this, but the feel of the warm wind blowing across you, slowly taking a curvy back country road (who says you have to knee drag all the time?) the sun beating down on you interrupted slightly by shade from overhanging trees. Just being able to see, feel and enjoy so many things you can't while in a car.
The attention you get when you show up at a restaurant dressed in your gear. The conversations with strangers who also ride. The random girls who will flirt with you at stop lights :) Waving at other riders of course. It makes you feel like one big family. I like this thread, I think it will do this forum good to reflect on why we are here instead of fighting all the time. Peace out

I have about the same likes as most of the ones already posted.
One of my favs though is my daughter telling my wife, "No mom, I want dad to take me on the bike..."
