Poems

free like bigfoot

on mountains & motorbikes

motorbikes & mountains
they are the truth
kind of like fountains
fountains of youth

give you wings
to be free on
like the springs
of Ponce de Leon

they are an escape
keeping you free
like a big ape
peeping from a tree

it can't be denied
they may be expensive
just make sure you ride
safe & defensive

Enjoy your Monday. I hope this will be a great week for you. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Poems

ownership is an illusion

11MAR26

you’re only renting

bigfoot is unknown
but he is true
knows everything you own
really owns you

take a session
open the lid
of your possessions
time to rid

feel the confusion
the truth hinting
ownership is an illusion
you're only renting

it's all a front
a bad habit
in this hunt
you are the rabbit

whispers the wind
become aware
you are in
the cross hairs

know the advertisers
are not Heaven sent
try to be wiser
than what they represent

I went to Bike Night at Cycle Gear last night. It was interesting to see so many motorcycles in the parking lot. I think most of the major brands were represented. I saw bikes from BMW, Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha. I am probably leaving a brand out. It was mostly sport bikes. I did see a Harley Davidson touring bike pulling out as I was coming in. The guys that work in the store had told me that a lot of the young guys like to drive down the street on Hurstbourne and do a U turn and then pop a wheelie in front of of all of the other bikers. And sure enough I saw quite a few motorcycles going a long way down the road on the back wheel : )

It was also pretty easy to see what the favorite helmet brands and models were. I saw a lot of AGV, Arai, Bell, HJC, KYT, and Shoei helmets sitting or hanging on bikes.

In a way it was a lot like a bigfoot festival. There were a lot of people and a lot of smiles participating in something that they were definitely into.

Enjoy your Wednesday.
