Never knew what they meant. All that rambling on about feeling the wind in your face. Well...I sure understand now. What a difference going from being somebody's bitch on the back of their bike, to owning and riding one of your own! It's not only about ego and power. It's about the view...it's about the way the air feels on your face, it's about the sound coming from down below...between your legs...the sound creating the power to make you go faster and faster through the air. It's all like this constant circle of thrill engulfed around you and completely controlled by you. I can't control alot of things in my life. But I can control my bike. And my bike carries me. How wonderful is this! Most importantly, when you're focused on staying safe and manuevering correctly, that's ALL there is to think about. Nothing else. Not what I ate last night, not what he or she said to me a couple of hours ago. NOTHING matters when I'm riding. Except getting from point A to point B safely on my metal beauty. Today's riding experience was a turning point for me. I left my anxieties, worries and fears at home. Even the anxiety I previously had over riding! And finally, I had FUN! I realized that the more confidence I gain, the more at ease I am, and the more relaxed I become, the better I maneuver. The better I maneuver with least amount of mistakes, the more confident I become. And it goes on and on and on like that. Soon, it just becomes enjoyable. I love this, and I never would have thought I'd be meant to do this. But now I do. Here's to the wind! And here's to everyone who never believed that I could accomplish such a thing!
