Feel the Wind

Look at the lines begging your touch, beautifully, aerodynamically sound. The color and aesthetics call for you to blend and wrap around. The curves, and lines nurture you, adding layers to what you touch. Feel the connection between body and road, a car will never do so much. No isolation to hold you back, you’re one with the road to search. You start with your feet planted on either side, in charge of this lofty perch. Standing, balance it beautifully, it’s movements yours to command. When the power goes on you’ll feel it within, together with the sound. It’s flexible and vibrates, the likes of which will twist your thoughts around.... As you rev the motor, the power will travel your body lifting you among the clouds. The control you have will mesmerize, as you control its very breath. You’ll feel like a chameleon, caressing the road on which you will be blessed... The vibrations of the road will touch you, as you ride this jewel with flair. It feels wilder than a car, as your mind embraces it, but beware... As it engages you heart and mind, powerful fantasies begin flowing through the air. But pay close attention, for danger is always leering about, inattention can death impart. It can be primal, it can be brutal, and it can be heaven beyond compare. But mostly it is freedom, a commodity seldom found, anywhere. Raise your face shield. Feel the power of what you’re riding in. The wind caresses your face with its heavy sigh, against your sensitive skin. Stretch out your hand. Feel the wind. Allow it between your fingers to flow so rare… And the wind will answer in return, stroking, your body, clothes, and hair. The feel of the wind is intoxicating, as your life with it you share. It makes you feel in control, yes, of even the sensuous air. The wind, and the power… beckon your sense of freedom forth. The road goes off to the horizon, your buddies at your side. Your lady is there snug against you. Are you ready for this ride? Dedicated to my father Roger French riding across country at 78, my brother Dale French riding with him, and their friend Jerry Rose.
