Motorcyle and Biker Ride Reports and General Info

Being a long-time motorcycle rider, I am often asked by non-motorcycle riders why I ride.

I explain to them that there is nothing like taking my motorcycle out on the open road and "getting in the wind." I try to explain to them that for me it's like a spiritual and meditative experience. When I get on the open road my senses become hyper-alert, yet my mind becomes totally calm. Riding a motorcycle on the open road is unlike any other type of motor vehicle experience. You can "smell the smells," see the sights, and feel the road. Only someone that has actually ridden a motorcycle will understand what I'm trying to say.

Riding on city streets is not the same as riding on the freeway or the open road, however, it is pleasurable nonetheless.

The experience of riding a motorcycle is hard to explain in words. There is nothing like sitting on top of a powerful machine on two wheels riding through the Arizona desert at 75 mph, or riding through the twisties in the Angeles Crest National Forest. It's almost as if you and the motorcycle become one. The motorcycle responds to your every movement. When riding, I sometimes feel like I am flying. Again, it's something that you have to experience for yourself to understand.

Motorcycle riders of all types, experience a bond and comradery that cagers do not have. No matter what type of motorcycle you ride, you feel a kinship to other motorcycle riders that you see on the road, I guess because you know that their experiencing the same thing that you are. It's a great feeling riding down the road and having every other motorcycle that passes by shoot you what is called "the biker wave." Bikers and motorcycle riders for the most part are the most friendliest, and trustworthy people that I have ever met.

I will be posting may articles about my adventures and road trips in this section. Stay tuned!
