The Motorcyclist's New Year

Just as many people look forward to the start of a New Year and the hope that it brings, the motorcyclist has a New Year to look forward to as well. It just doesn't occur on January 1st. The motorcyclist's New Year begins in spring (unless you live in a nice, warm climate and can ride year round).

What makes the motorcyclist's New Year so special? Just as a new year brings new hope to one, so too, does a new spring bring new hope to a motorcyclist: the hope of more riding time, the hope of new roads to explore, the hope of new life after a dead winter. It's the opportunity to not just see nature in bloom, but to experience nature in its fullest as you are completely enveloped in the sights, sounds, and smells as you become one with nature riding down the road. Achieving this metamorphosis allows one the freedom to view all things in life from a new and fresh perspective. This perspective is one akin to the "road less traveled," and, for me, also, it has made all the difference.

So, you see, nothing is quite like the motorcyclist's New Year!

You are anything but simple! As they say in Hill Street Blues, "Be careful out there."

I have to agree with Jacob...I am planning to attend the rally here at the capitol and will take photos. I have a site for that sort of thing at www.photoj.biz. If I see you I'll get you some cards. That way you can let the other riders know where to get some keepsakes of their visit to WV.
