Motorcycles have been a part of my life since I was 16 years old…. I have ridden for over 59 years… dirt and street. I have had motorcycle accidents… I have felt pain and suffering. I have had the second thoughts that pop into your mind as you observe your shins being rubbed raw.
I can say that I do not have a death wish. I do not want to experience the feelings of rubbing along the road at 40 miles per hour as my leather garments are abraded, heated and torn away. But I have also experienced the exhilaration of a turn well executed, the fun of rolling up on a beautiful road ….towards the sunset.
Motorcycling is a thrill that you must experience personally…. not by reading about it, not by having someone describe it to you in a conversation. It is and always will be a personal experience of freedom, expression, individualism, courage, bravado, daredevil, natural connection with the universe…. WOW. Is that deep or what???
I have owned and ridden many different types and makes of motorcycles in my life…. some of them are :
- AJS 500 Scrambler
- Greeves 250 Scrambler
- Honda 25o Scrambler
- Suzuki 250 Motocross…..Penny bought this motorcycle for me as a present, can you imagine the love and generosity???? We were 22 years old….. WOW.
