There are lots and lots of things we love about motorcycling and for me, an overarching thing that I most appreciate. Motorcycling is real. There’s no Virtual Reality. There’s no AI. Nothing Artificial going on here.
For those of us lucky enough to have a motorcycle in the garage and the ability to ride it, .... Wow, we are just so fortunate! I think that riding is not so much an escape from reality. Riding motorcycles returns us to reality. And for that, we can be very grateful.

It was there, boarding our motorcycles onto the ferry, that the fellow next to me pulled off his jacket to reveal a t-shirt that not only caught me by surprise, but made me laugh. We struck up a conversation right away. His black t-shirt had a simple slogan on it that said “Go Fast, Don’t Die”. Oh, now that’s genius! I get it! I’m sure that statement could be interpreted in many ways, but for me it means, do what you can, while you can. I guess, live life to the fullest. Mindfulness helps! Do what makes you happy.

Motorcycles and the Art of Wandering

Young riders pick a destination and go. Old riders pick a direction and go. That's good. I get it.
Henry David Thoreau talked it way back in the 1860s, this idea of wandering. As motorcycle riders, we have the freedom to wander aimlessly, and nobody’s going to question us about it. Some of us feel compelled to do that as we ride.
We don't always have to be going from point A to point B. We don’t always need to be accomplishing something. What we do need is peace of mind, freedom of both mind and body. Wandering around without a specific destination in mind can be amazing.
Where will your motorcycle take you? Let’s talk about it. Thank you for joining me today!
