I read this somewhere else..it may interest you... THE DREAM THAT MANY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND: I bought a BIKE for a personal dream. One day when I am very old and when I can not walk anymore, it will be in my garage as a trophy of my memories. I met people who taught me something and have the same spirit and I met others that I'm glad I forgot. I got wet, I felt cold, And I felt warm, I was afraid, I fell, And I stood back 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 and lived unforgettable experiences. I often made curves that even Marc Marquez would be proud of; other times I made curves full of terror. I stopped a thousand times to see a landscape. I spoke with perfect strangers, and I forgot people I see every day. I went out with my demons 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 stopped talking to those who do not understand, (they just do not understand) and I learned through gestures to communicate with other riders. I spent money that I did not have, giving up many things, but all these things are not worth even a moment about my BIKE It is not a means of transport or a piece of iron with wheels, it is the lost part of my soul and my spirit. And when someone says to me: "You have to sell the BIKE and you have to be a more serious person", ... I do not answer. I just swing my head and smile, Walking on, a BIKE..... only the person who loves them understands. And the adventure continues. .
And faced with no freedom In a medical facility just to get older, I may check myself out and hit a concrete bridge pier at 120 mph
This particularly I can relate to, especially recently, if it weren't for bikes I'd have totally lost the plot!
This is perfect! And if I could click more than one response emoji in addition to Like I would choose Agree, Cheers, and Love You!
"losing the plot" has got to be better than the reality we are facing at the moment, its only a sense of humour and what I have around me that makes it all bearable.
