Then Came Bronson. In Wind. Leaning. Feeling temperature changes in dips and woods. Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride. Sun on face. Chaps and jacket versus cold. Waving to the other biker on a 45 degree day. Smelling hay, lilacs. Passing WOT. Seeing Eagles, Blue Herons, Hawks overhead. Straightaways. Curves. Drinking coffee after riding in a cold rain. ***** on back. Loud pipes. Noise and shake when you hit the start key. 36 mpg. Highway pegs. HDForums.

I like the openess and being more a part of the environment I'm in than a cocoon just passing through it.
