It's definitely worth renting, I enjoyed it immensely.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-28807478867804184212014-07-15T19:57:16.431-07:002014-07-15T19:57:16.431-07:00Dar, thanks for posting that.

It's partly the need to focus much more on your environment to manage the risk, coupled with being immersed in the sights, sounds, and the rush of wind. But there's more. It's how you travel through the space, you ride the vectors of physical forces whereas when you drive you fight them. Like the difference between a sailboat and a motorboat. <br /><br />In a car you go from A to B. On a bike you go from "eh!" to "be".David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-7031240887600711042014-07-15T17:53:20.228-07:002014-07-15T17:53:20.228-07:00Coop - I am sure you have many years left of ridin...Coop - I am sure you have many years left of riding! After the film an elderly fellow came up & gave me a hug and shook my hand and thanked me. I think his riding seasons are done, he was almost teary and it filled my heart with joy and a little sadness. I think part of being a good rider is knowing when to hang up the keys and savour the memories.

Many of our friends saw it in the theater, I borrowed the DVD and saw it at home, enjoyed it thoroughly.<br /><br />Buddy Dave at one of this year's earlier rallies asked the question, "What are your 12 favorite things?" <br />I've quietly figured out that my list was full of things accessed, done or experienced with motorcycle involvement. Even when I'm no longer able to actually ride, I still will be.Coop a.k.a.

It was really quite easy, the only time consuming part was finding a theatre that was willing to bring it in without me having to rent the theatre for the showing. If you have a university or college that has a theatre they are awesome to approach because it is a documentary. <br /><br />As for your reasons for riding, I can hear the passion of love of the ride in your writing! Yes please go on all night! I love it when people tell me why they love riding.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-31648968451693887382014-07-15T00:17:20.367-07:002014-07-15T00:17:20.367-07:00Can you please arrange a screening over here?
Why...Can you please arrange a screening over here?<br /><br />Why do I ride? Well, I can't not. Riding is the perfect way to experience travel, you are exposed to everything all the sights, sounds and smells around you. Add to that the satisfaction of riding well (hopefully), nailing the perfect corner, picking the best line, the feedback you get from the road and the bike...I could go on all night...Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-45216791085136454112014-07-14T19:25:54.574-07:002014-07-14T19:25:54.574-07:00Ally exactly!

Riding feels like flying through the air for me; my motorcycle disappears and every sensation is natural and pleasant.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.com
