Ladies & Harleys!

Until a couple of years ago, I used to think tht bikes are not for me .. I was least interested in any kind of 2-wheelers. Can you imagine bearing the sun on you direct... all the smoke, the pollution, nothing to shield you from it all! No No! No Thank You!
But in the past years, thanks to my friends I have had n number of bike rides, long and short ... to top it all, really enjoyed them to the level that Im addicted now! I love takin rides with my friends, accompanying them as their pillion. Though riding bikes myself is still a NO! Im very content sitting behind the my friend who takes on the road, myself feeling the breeze on my face, enjoying the view and chatting away. Not much of a speed freak!
In the weekend gone past, I was idling @ home, watching sum television. Travel & Living, 1 of the few channels I find worth a watch, had a feature on this group of 6 ladies who meet up n go for a cross country ride on der Harley Davidsons.

It was an eye-opener! The scenes I got to see were simply breath-taking. But even more amazing was the feel the women themselves gave me! Just totally free as a bird, each 1 of them, with all their worldly worries at bay! Its not like they just bike! But each one had her own family, carreer, life. They had each just taken a couple of days off that routine, just for herself, free from everything. Just she and her bike!.. n this gang of gals :)
The women met up one fine morning- her companions all stranger to her! The gang had never met before! Very coolly they said their hi-hellos and started off on the road. It just didnt matter who was accompanying them. The journey was wat mattered!
As they drove they learnt about each other. The way they bonded was great. They helped each other in a lot of things .. mostly on riding, the roads, the journey... It was awesum! Some of them were new to this cross country biking Some veterans. They shared their knowledge. Took care of each other and most of all had fun!
As the roads opened up this whole new world, the beauty mother nature had to offer engulfed them... The Grand Canyon as the background.... Wo!!
I wish i was der too ... Now Im actually considering to learn biking .. n i have frnds n family more than ready to teach. some even more anxious than me actually! haha Will add that to my talent pool soon and then rrrrr..rrr..rrr..rr Come wind cum rain .. ill be der to take it on n enjoy!!
