Two Wheels BETTER than Four

A    L    O    H    A  !

" To be free 
is not merely 
to cast off one's 
chains,
 but to live 
in a way that 
respects and enhances
 the freedom 
of others. "

 Mandella

" If 

you make friends

 with yourself 

you will never 

be alone. "

 Maxwell Maltz

" I am so glad that

you are here. . .

It helps me realize

how beautiful

my world is. "

Goethe

 One drives a car. 

One rides a motorcycle; 

Like a horse.

One is inside a car; 

One rides upon

 a motorcycle.

Drivers turn a wheel. 

Riders lean 

& wheel 

into turns

like a hawk, or a surfer.

On two wheels we enjoy 

mastery, 

we are part of 

nature, 

 and of the 

Flow,

smells, 

warmth,

cool.

Rain.

Sun.

On two wheels 

we truly pray,

 and forget ourselves 

for a time;

While

completely present,

absorbed,

exultant.

On motorcycles, 

I am soon happy

 and singing.

I agree with 

Marcus T. Cicero:

  " Rashness belongs 

to youth; 

prudence to old age. "

I am in  

the sweet-spot 

savoring both, 

Happy to have 

many air miles,

many experiences 

and memories

along the road

 I've ridden.

You notice things on a bike

" There are old pilots, 

and bold pilots,

 but no old

AND bold pilots. "

I've been a licensed 

Motorcyclist

44 Years.

Cars came later.

They are VERY different:

If you take up riding,

or have been garaged

all winter,

remember

the eyes

in the back of your 

head.

Remember

that you are

invisible

and ultimately

responsible

for your own safety.

Turn the odds

in your favor,

stay out of the grease patch

in the middle of the lane

(esp at red lights)

Ride at your own pace

as I do.

Always look beyond

the bumper in front.
