The Open Road

There is very little in this world to rival the feel of the highway whipping by underneath you at 60 miles per hour as you glide over it on a big motorcycle. Seriously. That is an amazing sensation. If you get the chance, do it, but do it as the driver, not a passenger. I'd say it's a rush, but that's not a very good description. The best description of the sensation is intimate. When you're in a car, you're numbed to the sensation of what the road really is. On a bike, you're in the sensation. You become part of it. It's uncut and unadulterated. It's seriously one of those things in life like flying an airplane and going to the seashore that everyone should experience. But, please, experience it safely.

Over, Oveur.
