I always thought it seemed kind of dumb to own a manual nowadays considering how prevalent automatics are and how simple they are to drive. I had never ridden a manual but it seemed like too much work.

Well I got a motorcycle earlier this year (most are manual), and now I definitely understand the appeal of a manual vehicle. I actually get annoyed at my automatic car due to the lack of throttle response compared to my bike. It’s a lot more fun on the bike. And I have a slow as fuck bike.

But I still don’t know if I would replace my car with a manual car because it can also be nice to just chill while driving.
