Ok, that must be the most the over-used and corniest slogan ever to be assosciated with Bikers... It was adopted by Harley Davidson in the early 1930's and has been assosciated with the whole biking culture ever since.
But seriously.... what compels a guy to wake up on a Sunday morning, get dressed ,swing his leg over his pride and joy and head out on d road? Is it the sense of getting away from it all ? Perhaps he enjoys d thrill of piloting a finely crafted machine ? The adrenaline rush you get from going fast inches from the tarmac risking smearing your skin and blood should you come off the bike ? ....
No for me the best thing about biking is that from the moment you sit astride your bike, the whole world's problems cease to exist...the sense of freedom and joy for life that fills you with every twist of the throttle. For everyone who has never experienced it ...try it...you mught like it... until you do ...please, dont knock it cause you will never get it.... Bikers share a sense of brotherhood... anyone who has ever ridden knows wat its all about...its like an inside joke.
For those that do get it...ride safe and ride strong ... i leave you with the words of Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild' classic rock song....
Get your motor running
head out on the highway
.
Looking for adventure
in whatever comes ourway.
Peace out Bros...
