Motorcycle Diaries – Ride. Love. Live

You get up, laze around in the house, get ready for the day, with only one bright light spark on that otherwise bleak horizon.

What is that? The fact that you will ride your amazing motorcycle to your destination.

If you’re a rider, then you will know the feeling when you get on that seat and feel the beast come alive. The steadily rising rumble of the engine, the grinding of the tires against asphalt, and the wind whipping against your face. It is this experience that motorcycle riders live for. And it is simply inexplicable.

Zipping through the streets at speeds that the others will only have heard about, stopping only for a cup of coffee, or for something that catches the eye

You reach your destination. Get off your motorcycle amidst a crowd of gaping people, all looking at you and your beloved. Some jealous, some simply dazzled by its sheer beauty. But the happiest and proudest is you. You secure the motorcycle, check all locks, make sure it will be completely safe and walk to your office or wherever your stop is.

You check up on your motorcycle frequently, till it is time to go back home. You relish the feeling of getting back on your bike once again, and zip off back home or detour.

You have s special designated place for your motorcycle. You polish it, clean it thoroughly until you are satisfied, and then make sure it will be completely safe for the night before making your way inside; already thinking of the next day when you will ride it once again.

That feeling. Between all riders, is the same.

We leave you with this quote, which aptly summarizes that feeling: Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
