This is really beautifully written - and the concluding paragraph is perfect.

kaivalgi,
This was good - thanks
Check this clip from an old "6 Feet Under" episode.
To me, it defines why I ride pretty well.

Great clip, Steve. Thanks for posting. Instead of BOC, Bob Seger's "Roll me Away" would have been a great tune to wrap it up.

That is a beautiful piece. Heck, I may stop trying to put into my own words why I ride, and just send them that link.

Very cool piece of writing. I concur with that thought process and sentiment.

Literally just went back and twatted (my inelegant name for twitter) about that with a link to it, saying... "Preach, sir, and I will sing in your choir. You put words to my ineffable yearnings" I'm a voracious reader that hangs around compulsive English majors, and THEY were impressed with that composition.... even if only the ones that I've convinced to ride pillion really understood it.... Darn me and my compulsive late night postings.
