I can buy that, with provision.<br /><br />I still have motorcycle dreams, in which the vehicle plays the role of liberator -- bringing me to some exotic locale I've been keen to see but for one pedestrian reason or another have not yet managed to get to. When I re-posted this picture I realized the destination my psyche frequently "delivers" me to is roughly where this shot was taken -- Southwest Montana, in fact, and some mythical rendering of the same in my consciousness.<br /><br />Back in '86 it felt like a part of me was finally waking up when we got to Montana. It was the least-cluttered road we'd driven -- often it felt like it was just me and my traveling companion, and the foothills, the prairie, the sky. We took a wrong turn and went many, many miles before we realized it. By then we had to fully commit to the error and keep going, so we could reach a place to park, eat and sleep. It finally felt like we were doing what we had originally set out to do. We managed two and a half days of that, pretty much the limit for us at that comically tender age.<br /><br />When I got home I sold the motorcycle and bought a bicycle, and ever since then I've had this great feeling when I climb aboard a bicycle that I had hoped to get on the motorcycle. I don't have bicycle dreams though. It's always the motorcycle.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-34047526249512719022017-10-16T13:56:17.425-04:002017-10-16T13:56:17.425-04:00It's not about the vehicle; it's about the...It's not about the vehicle; it's about the viewer.
