IMO this is because motorcycling has been turned into a hobby rather than what it is - a mode of transport which is cheaper and quicker than the alternatives like cars and public transport.
It also helps that it makes you look double hard and chicks dig bikers and bikes, especially when you've just turned 16 and you've got your own wheels for the first time.
Because of the hobby bikers that infest the countryside at weekends either riding beyond their talent or causing havoc on the roads with inappropriate stunting, the image is that motorcycling is a dispensable luxury, hence the rising cost to attend the NEC Bike Show.
Well not for me it ain't, it never has been, I have always had a bike to get me from A to B and I for one resent the image that hobby bikers have given motorcycling.
You want a hobby? Take up fishing, I've heard it's very relaxing.
