A Vehicle To Solitude
September 01, 2015
Edit
Many people are attracted to motorcycles for the social aspect. Hanging at wheel black alongside buddies, grouping rides, showing off on Main Street, etc.. Even a contest driven racer volition say you lot ane of the best things well-nigh the racetrack is the people you lot encounter there.
My personal depict is at odds alongside the above. I seek the refuge of 2 wheels non for whom it tin direct maintain me to, but what it tin direct maintain me away from. My interests prevarication non inwards the cock-waving stoplight drag-racers alongside 72 human foot swingarms, chrome tempest trooper helmets as well as flashing LED calorie-free strips, or the wanna-be Daughters of Matriarchy outlaws alongside leather vests as well as patches revving opened upward pipes as well as rattling windows on their Milwaukee iron. If that's your bag, as well as then fine, who the hell am I to judge?
My showtime teenage experience piloting that Yamaha DT250 was terrifying. Suddenly the audio of motor as well as current of air overcame the vocalization of the guy yelling instructions at me, as well as I was alone. In those moments the precisely affair controlling my fate was me as well as the decisions I would make. No ane was shouting anything, telling me what to usage or non do, how to move or think. All the voices were silenced, drowned out yesteryear the sugariness dissonance of a piston-slapping 2 stroke harmony. I would crash a few moments later, but fifty-fifty that was non plenty to deter me.
I direct maintain never stopped trying to piece of job dorsum to the feeling, the soul-cleansing aloneness I felt that day. Beyond fun as well as enjoyment as well as entering into the realm of spiritual need, a motorbike tin move a vehicle to many things, for me it is a vehicle to solitude. Which inwards this twenty-four hours as well as historic menstruation is non a bad thing. Not bad at all.
