Since I left my former company, I have had more time to ride my dual sport bike.
It may not seem like a big deal to the non-rider, but it is my get-a-way.
When you ride it means a few things
> No talking in your ear.
> No radio, commercials, and opinions.
> No internet to get you worked up, or give you unrealistic expectations, crappy uneducated views
> If you are riding on the dirt, that means you are out of the urban area, in touch with Terra Firma. There is dirt, trees, shrubs, weeds, rodents, deer, reptiles, and bugs. You know, "nature" get back in touch with it.
> All the senses are there: Smell the exhaust, the dust, and shrubs, see the colors, landscape, flowers and contour of the trails. Feel the vibrations, the wind rushing past, the bike as it reacts to all the bumps and turns below you, the weeds as you brush by. Taste the dust, and the refreshing water you re-hydrate with. Hear the bike, and only the bike.
Get out of the house every weekend!
Take a kid with you when you can.
