Got home from work today and just needed some two wheel time. Got the bike out and went over to see a friend just putting around town. Then on the way home I hit a straight road that was long and wide open. I was at about 4000 rpm and just cranked the throttle all the way to red line. Then shift and cranked the throttle again. Found my zen spot. I feel better.

I love that savage roar when accelerating at full throttle at higher RPMs. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Now that I own a TTP firestarter, I dread 4 wheel time. All I want to do lately is ride, and ride some more. Stay safe everyone. Lost a friend recently, trail riding on a dirtbike, ya just never know.

That reminds me, Wade.
Ever notice as you wind on down the road, quite often your shadow's taller than your soul?
(...or is that just me?)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Man, I could almost hear "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf in the background.
