We'll all heard the saying that "you'll never see a motorcycle parked outside a therapist's office." Whether that's true or not (maybe the therapist is a biker, right?) I know that being on a bike brings a balance to my life that wouldn't be so easy to achieve without the wind in my face.
I was out today before these stupid storm clouds gathered. Just a short trip around the middle of Geauga County. It was nice. I'm getting use to my cruiser and it's getting use to me. So as I went along I was thinking "all is well in my world." My mind was letting go of the stress as my hands took hold of those handlebars. Road thoughts are not like my everyday thoughts where my to-do list, local community concerns, family situations take center stage and create due stress in my core. Road thoughts are free and unencumbered.
Freedom. Bikers have stood for freedom since the beginning of motorcycling. Freedom for all. Well I can tell you - I beleive in freedom for all too. I also believe in the kind of very private freedom my bike provides me. I know I'm a better person for it. Too bad more people can't enjoy having such wings. The world would be a happier place.
Going down to Burton now for Geauga Power Sports grand opening. I'll report soon about how Matt has brought a new resource to the area for all of us who use our freedom to ride off road and on road on our sport vehicles. And I might just learn to change a tire while I'm there!
