i was struck with an epiphany while driving to my favorite watering hole for a cup of baileys with a little coffee.

was listening to bob seger sing Turn the Page and the words struck a chord with me.  

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
moanin' out its one-note song
You can think about the woman
or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin',
you just wish the trip was through...


Well you walk into a restaurant,
strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
but you just want to explode...


these are the thoughts of a biker on a long ride.

Live to Ride...Ride to Live
