You Never Know

I ride and I ride and I ride and I wonder when I should turn around... cause I really don’t wanna. The reason being, I want to see what’s over that next rise, just beyond the horizon. And every time I get there I see it’s a part of America that we take for granted, that may not be there some day. Some times I stop and take pictures before riding on, on and on. I want to see what’s just beyond the horizon. And every time I get there I see it’s a part of America that may not be there forever. Things change, people change, society changes, climates change, morals change, values change, ethics change, laws change... you never know.

Let Me Do It

My riding style is laid back. I don’t get to ride as much as I’d like, I have to travel a lot for work. So when I do get on the bike, I try to take it easy and enjoy the ride. I like to look around. I like to experience all I can. I try to be conscious of the wind on my skin, the smells that wrap up around my brain. I like to feel the temperature change. I like to hear the roar of my pipes.

Every once in a while I find myself haulin’ ass, not paying any attention to the speedometer I’ll look down and be doing 15 over. And I realize at that moment that I have that same feeling I used to have when I was young and wasn’t supposed to be riding on the road; and that was one of the best parts of riding; was that danger or thrill that you were getting away with something. That just goes to show that somethings never change; and why should they? I don’t hurt nobody, and it makes me feel good, and its my own business. Let me do it.

Bobber? Just Wonderin’

I have been thinking about building my own bike. I’d really like to build a bobber. I read all the biker rags and pour through all of the pictures. I get online and look and look and look. I look at chassises, rolling chassises, parts, complete bikes. And here’s the thing--I’m just wonderin’; why are bobber’s so freakin expensive? I mean, they are stripped down bikes, all but the necessities removed, and they cost as much as a fully dressed Harley. So how does a working stiff like me afford a bobber? All I want is a barebones bike. Any ideas?
