So, with that said, just go buy a bike and start RIDING!!
Riding is where you suspend your belief in the seriousness of everyday life...you let go of all of your worries and stresses and important responsibilities and just ride and corner and accelerate and relax and master your fears (not just of riding in challenging conditions) and count the hawks in the sky and see sunsets and sunrises and eat lunches at tiny diners and daydream in your head and meet wicked cool people and laugh till you're sick and play not work and smell the different smells of the air going from sun to shade....






I have to agree get the bike if we all were as smart as we should be none of us would ride bikes. We get soaked, we get bitterely cold, we get burned, we get sand blasted, we get polluted by the most awfule diesel fumes.

Does common sense appear like ****** it does when that bike fires up and you are on the road and you stop somewhere and see some of the views we have all seen in different countries in different continents we all (bikers) share a child like wonder about what is out there, what is over the next hill round the next bend. Watch the smile on a bikers face as they pull of their helmet and look at something they havent seen before a big grin will crease that face. Children do the same thing.

So maybe I should have bought a better car with all the latest gadgets and doofers on ofer. Would it have been as much fun. Would I feel better driving in my own perfect metal prison. Not a chance, But thanks for making me think about why I love my bike and why I ride welcome to the world of those scary folk who ride bikes and never seem to grow up.

I cannot decide whether to be a good example or a horrible warning ! Peace & respect http://www.tomcc.org/gg/ Eric
