    Biking as a decision in life

    I never started biking because anyone else.
    I started riding because of me.
    It was a very egotistic decision.
    I did not care that my mum was scared that I would get killed.
    I did not care that my then friends did not have an interest in bikes.
    I was already at 16 riding alone. There was not that many where I lived who had a bike. At that age.
    My bikes have never pulled females. Or perhaps I always thought they were attracted to my other attributes...
    My bikes have always been a way of getting away.
    At times they have meant more to me then other living beings.

    I have been riding with "groups".
    But even then it was about me.
    I did it because of me.
    That there was others around me with similar looks at life just made it easier.
    Gave me reasons to disappear.

    And nothing has changed.
    I still do not look for other reasons then my selfish ones why to ride.
    I still ride alone.
    Life is different. I have a respectable job, I have responsibilities, children. They all get in the way. Some of them take priority.

    But I ride when I get the need. As long as it does not affect my kids.
    Even if it is a dirtbike ride on the beach in the moonlight.

    There is nobody else needed or involved.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    I did it because I wanted to be able to do better wheel stands than a guy in my home town, for ME I guess as well

    Do you have to masturbate in front of the Group?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Most of them wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out Jim.

    Hey Conquiztador, I think there's a card game being dealt out in the back room for the 'old guard'.

    *from somewhere out the back*
    "SNAP!"



    Shit, they've started without you.

    I started because I needed transport and thought it was the easiest way since I didn't have to have someone with me while on a learners license. Now I wished I started so many years ago!!!!

    Thousands of years ago I got on the back of a mate's bike....there was a certain smell came off the engine......and I was totally hooked straight away. Now it's because I am old enough to be stupid and not care. Been riding on and off for forty years now with the odd gap but I still love it as much as ever if not more so....it's like flying two feet above the ground....and the sense of freedom speaks to my soul or maybe its that little primitive bit of hind brain that wants to be a bird...... But I do it 'cause I like it.

    For thirty-nine years I put wife and kids ahead of any aspirations to own a bike. Then, when she decided she'd had enough and left and the kids were all grown up and away, I had nobody to worry about. Now I have my bike and I feel freer and happier than I ever have. (Don't tell my ex!)
