One Motorcycle Changed My Life

A motorcycle keeps you ageless. What the hell is age anyway? I don’t want to cower and feel ashamed that I’m not this wrinkle free, cellulite-less, twenty or even thirty something, girl. I’m so pleased that I’m alive another day, taking my many millionth breath. Age should be beautifully defined as how many times you’ve danced around the sun. Tigerlily empowers me and I can do anything at anytime I want. She and dance in the sun to the rhythm of the road. I can be anything I want and experience my dreams without another human being telling me that I am too old to do so. To hell with that. Kiss my sass.

And no matter how many times I’ve been around the sun, I can always take another route and reinvent myself born again. I can always exit what isn’t working and look for an entrance ramp that can lead me onto a renewed sense of my divine purpose and into a new adventure to discover something thrilling about myself.

Because of my motorcycle, I continue to chase my dreams and live those dreams. Sometimes I’ve been led to experience unexpected talents that I never would have known had it not been for Tigerlily exposing these gifts to me. Oh, she carries me into some uncharted territory and helps me face my fears by virtue of the element of surprise and meeting new people and experiencing new places, new paths and new destinations. She throws me into the wild, and I become childlike. Like I know nothing and then I’m wonder filled. This is the finer experience of the evolutionary process that happens on a motorcycle, and being born again To become the wild child and run free….naked in the body of wonder, born to be.

My motorcycle fills me up with premium fueled thoughts: Courage, Desire, Wonder, Enthusiasm, Awareness, Love, Respect, Oneness and more flow into my mind and through my being. The wind rushing against my body teaches me to be open and accept what happens along the way of life. Two wheels soaring along the asphalt teaches me to course correct in a split second and sharpens my decision making skills. Exposed to the elements on a motorcycle, you have to be prepared for whatever mother nature gives you, with gratitude. Ah, the twists and turns and straight-a-ways of living and riding free on a motorcycle. Very engaging.

I'm 54 and am in my 2nd year of riding a motorcycle. I love and there's no feeling like it. I climb on top, say a short prayer, then head out on the road. It's scary riding in the city (Calgary) so I love to get out on the highway and just ride. I ride a Suzuki C50 800 cc and it's given me a new sense of freedom and independence I hadn't realized I was missing. I feel so energized riding it, and every time I climb on top of it, it's like: why don't I do this more often. When I'm out on the road, all my troubles fade away, and it's just me all of nature around me. I like seeing more & more women riding their own motorcycles, in their full leathers (leather is so sexy and empowering), and I'm looking for, and hope to join a ladies only club very soon.
