I don't get out much to meet the neighbors. It's not like they live right next door, one of the perks of living in the country. Come to find out this particular summer home belongs to a man that is in the motorcycle business, owns a Harley -Davidson dealership. Oh boy.............yeah baby.
I've always had a passion for off-road riding with my Husqvarna but never took the step up to the big leagues. People drive like maniacs in Michigan hence, didn't want to take the risk. Light bulb, if I stick to country roads here in the north all should be fine I convinced myself.
Enter stage left, LR's new VRSCDX Night Rod. Now for some reason chicks dig a guy on a motorcycle as long as they aren't sporting any colors ( motorcycle lingo for gang affiliation ). LR's getting to be a hipster huh. Anyway's I get my brand new all black leather outfit on, jump on that bike and I go, and go, and go, and go about 300 yards in an oval circle. Chicken shit, yes in deed.
The next day, much of the same till a song from the past pops in my head. None other then a Michigan man Bob Seger, Roll Me Away. Ah, here we go some motivational music that's what I need. Download, clip on my iPod and off I go.
Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what Id decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didnt have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin
Roll, roll me away,
Wont you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And Im sick of whats wrong and whats right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin
Roll, roll me away,
Im gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin,
Keep searchin till I find whats right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
Well get it right
