| three pieces to my heart |
if only it would stop raining."
I wrote this on my Bikers Post journal, earlier this week when it was still raining. I thought it was worth sharing on a motorcycle enthusiast site. But it garnered few responses. Perhaps too poetic for that posse of bikers. It is an interesting site to me, though. To follow discussions from riding in rain to why folks joined the site is a tiny glimpse into my mid-life obsession. It's a study in what draws remarks as many of the responses are short-and-sweet and often swelling with bravado. I hope to learn more about motorcycles, places, tricks to the adventure.
Like facebook, it's a 'social' network, yet they don't really replace the need to touch, hear, see each other. Kinda interesting to see how it will play out in 10 years. But still, when there is too much time in my lap, the weather is gloomy and my brain is foggy with disease, these sites offer a glimpse of a world bigger than my little piece of a small town.
The bike is still in the shop for much needed upgrades (I'm surprised how strong my affection for it has become) and the computer is still on my desk but the sky is blue for now and the list of life is calling. I believe I'll go visit the bike and plot our next road trip... it's about time to raise a some hell and disturb a little peace. Ride on. ~ ell
