With this winter being as cold as it's been, I haven't even thought about doing any winter maintenance. I wish I had something at least remotely motorcycle related to share.

A little Bit About Me

- I use this blog to share my motorcycle road trips, and a small portion of my daily life, with my friends and family. It is a constantly changing work in progress!
Thanks for looking, and please, feel free to leave a comment!!!

From one of my favorite motorcycle movies, "One Week".
"When you get those rare moments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you try desperately to hold onto them. They are the lifeboats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely elusive. So the question becomes or should have been all along, what would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live. What lifeboat would you grab onto? What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfill? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?" ------- Ben Tyler
Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time,
Next time we'll get it right.

I think everyone is wintered out & is waiting for spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm done as well. Too much winter; not enough patience.

ReplyDeleteFor the past week or so our weather has been great, low 40's°F during the day. I saw several bikes out. I even saw one yesterday on my commute in the morning. I was nearly thinking of buying insurance but now we are forecast for snow on Sunday and into next week. Not much but not riding weather either.
Did you realize that Spring is only 3 weeks away ?

Riding the Wet Coast
For the last week or so, it has been wonderful around here. I guess there's some truth to the cold in the lower 48 (that's you), warm here "rule". Mornings are still in the negative teens but it has been warming up into the mid 20s during the day. Quite a swing. Yesterday, there was even liquid water on south facing area...
ReplyDeleteNice insturments Erik!
ReplyDeletePretty colors on the gauges. -25 is too damn cold. Even if it is Bahama weather for Richard, lol.
