| I ride because it is fun.I ride because i enjoy the freedom i feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding. I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so. I ride my bike, not wear it. My bike is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone. My bike is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as i have for myself. I strive to understand the inner-workings of my bike, from the most basic to the most complex. I learn everything i can about my bike, so that i am reliant upon no one but myself for its well-being. I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my bike. I will learn it's limits, and use my skill to become one with my bike so that we may keep each other alive. We wil become an invincible team. I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy , not death. Fear on the highway leads to death , therefore i will not let fear be my master. I will master it. MY bikes will outlive me. Therefore, they are my legacy. I will care for them for future bikers to cherish them. I do not ride to gain attention,respect, or fear from those that do not ride,nor do i wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all i wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, i will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me. I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as i can cast upon them. I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or more knowledgeable than i am. I will learn from them all i can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end. I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than i am. I will teach them what i can. However , if they show me disrespect, they will be bitch-slapped. It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as i have been instructed by those before me. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and i will pass them on unaltered. I will not judge others on their choice of bike,their appearance, or their profession. I will judge only on their conduct as bikers. I will stand ready to help any other bikers that truly need my help. I will never ask another biker to do for me what i can do for myself. I am not a part-time biker, i am a biker when and where ever i go. I am proud to be a biker and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one. I ride because i love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, i ride to better understand myself, my bike,the lands in which i ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself. "TRAVIESOS FOREVER FOREVER TRAVIESOS" |
