Why I ride

[jeff355]

This is a poem I wrote for one of my classes.. It was written 2 months after I lost my mom and Don (Rayabusa)

Why?

Why do I do it?

I don’t do it to be a follower.
I do it to be a leader.

I don’t do it to impress others.
I do it to remind myself of my abilities.

I don’t do it to disrupt others.
I do it to inspire those around me.

I don’t do it to be out of control.
I do it to be in control.

I don’t do it because I am crazy.
I do it because it reaffirms my sanity.

I don’t do it to get away from the world.
I do it to deal with reality.

I don’t do it to cut my life short.
I do it to live my life to the fullest.

I do it to honor my friends who are no longer with me.

I do it to honor my parents.

It’s what makes my heart beat.
It’s what makes my blood flow.

I RIDE to be ME.

Jules - that is a beautiful poem- that pretty well covers it all !

Awesome...

love the poem dude...
i ride because it reminds me-
of how precious life is,
of what we can do with dreams,
of where i came from,
and who i am.
