Control and Power... something I don't have in other parts of my life.

I love everything about riding, 'cept for dodging cagers and idiots on cell phones
Control and Power... something I don't have in other parts of my life.
all i can say is ahhhhh, im in heaven on my bike, all the stresses of my life are gone .My husband who im not sure will see the next riding season is right in front of me and i watch his back tire lean around a corner and i know he feels like he is flying just like i do. I smell smells that i could never smell in a car, i feel the fear sometimes that i never feel in a car, I pull up to the tree at the drag races and smell smells that i never smell when in a car, and feel my boots stick to the track.. I am in heaven on my bike!!!! im alive when i ride.
Among all the other foregoing reasons... This Family.
I liken motorcycling to sea-faring terms. In our lives, we are all members of a ship's crew. We all do our part to make the ship work well and go where the commanding officer directs. It's highly functional and has worked for ages. On any given ship, there is only one commanding officer. When I ride, I am the captain of my very own ship. I am responsible for every system, navigation, movement, preparedness, if and when I turn, and if and when I go home. It's a feeling of being in charge. Who doesn't love that?
