It’s true.

Motorcycling, bicycling, one-wheeling, skiing, etc., awaken us. We operate something that demands our full attention and our attention rises to the need — else we get hurt.

I experience motorcycling as a whole body and mind workout. My blood pressure decreases to normal. On longer rides I think profound thoughts. In dense highway traffic I’m surviving and mitigating threats.

When I was flying frequently…

there was the “hundred dollar hamburger.” On a motorcycle, there is the $25 bacon and eggs.

My transition from flying to motorcycling has brought less expensive and more frequent adventures — but I miss flying and motorcycling together.
