"Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.” ~Author Unknown
Anybody who has swung a leg over anything with two wheels and a motor understands the inherent danger in that action and understands that in a split second precious life could be snuffed out like a moth in a candle. Those who ride--out of necessity-- have to have a heightened sense of their surroundings. It is imperative to survival on any city street or country highway. And for those of us on the back, that hyper awareness may be the only thing that might save our lives.
Maybe it’s because that when they walk out the door to get on that bike, there’s a lot bigger chance they may never come back. Maybe that’s why their friendships seem stronger, their drinks a little stiffer, their music a little more thunderous, and their laughter a little louder. Maybe that’s why they love with a little more urgency than the rest of us.
I am naturally attracted to people with a passion for life and with a passion for the things and causes they love. Their passion tends to draw the contours of their lives, as my passion does mine. The intensity that exudes from most of my biker friends draws me like a moth to a flame.. although they may be a mystery to many, figuring out what you love and designing a life around it earns the respect and admiration of us all.
