      THE DREAM THAT MANY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND:
      I own many motorcycles because of a personal dream.
      One day when I am very old and when I can not walk anymore, They will be in my garage as a trophy of my memories.
      I met people who taught me something and have the same spirit.
      I got wet,
      I felt cold,
      And I felt warm,
      I was afraid,
      I fell,
      And I stood up,
      I even hurt myself,
      But also, I laughed out loud inside the helmet.
      I spoke a thousand times with myself.
      I sang and shouted with joy like a madman,
      And yes … sometimes I cried.
      I have seen wonderful places because of motorcycles.
      I often made curves that even my Pop’s would be proud of; other times I made curves full of terror.
      I stopped many times to see a landscape.
      I spoke with perfect strangers.
      I went out with frustrations inside and returned home with a feeling of absolute peace in my heart.
      I always thought how dangerous it is, knowing that the meaning of courage is to advance even feeling fear.
      Every time I go up to my machine I think about how wonderful it is. I learned through gestures to communicate with other riders.
      I spent money that I did not have, I gave up many things, but it’s all worth it…
      My bikes are not a means of transportation but are a piece of iron with wheels, it’s part of my soul and my spirit.

      May God bless my friends and their joy of great people & motorcycles!

              Phil,
              I think this is the perfect explanation of why we ride. It’s hard for most of us to explain to non-riders why we ride. This piece sums it up beautifully.
