Met de pont naar Noord

City Summer Naked Bike

Gisteravond na het eten nog even weg met de Monster. Via de Westerdoksdijk naar de pont, tussen de fietsers op het dek gestaan terwijl de motor stond te tikken van de warmte.Aan de overkant een rustig rondje langs het water bij de NDSM-werf, terug met de zon laag over het IJ. Meer hoeft het niet te zijn.

The Man with the Shovelhead

Highway Food Stop Cruiser Riding Buddies

Same diner out past Franklin I mentioned the other night. What I didn't mention was the '78 Shovelhead parked out front, oil spot under it like a signature, because that one deserves more than a footnote.Corner booth, denim vest gone soft as an old dollar bill, black coffee, no phone anywhere in sight. Name was Earl. Been riding that same Shovel since Carter was in office. We got to talking the way riders do, which is to say about everything and nothing. Carburetors, ex-wives, which stretch of 96 has the worst crosswind.He said a bike you keep for forty-some years stops being a machine. More like an old dog that outlived every promise the vet ever made. You don't keep it because it's reliable. You keep it because it knows you.We rolled out together as far as the Leiper's Fork turnoff. That...

Stille tur langs Hardangerfjorden

Solo Ride Night Ride Norwegian Fjords Meditation on Wheels

Kjorte ut sent i gar kveld, selv om sola fortsatt hang lavt over fjorden. Ingen andre pa veien, bare lyden av boxermotoren og vinden.Stoppet ved et lite utsiktspunkt der fjorden la helt blank. Sto der lenge uten a si noe, bare sa pa vannet mens motoren kjolte seg ned.GSen star na klar til neste tur igjen. Sommeren her oppe gir deg aldri helt morkt, og det er noe eget med a kjore nar resten av verden sover.

Un'altra notte bollente sul Monster

Night Ride City Hot Weather

Non ce la facevo piu con questo caldo assurdo, ho preso le chiavi verso le undici e sono uscito solo per sentire un po' d'aria in faccia, il Monster che parte al primo colpo come sempre.Corso Sempione deserto, giu fino ai Navigli dove pero stavolta era pieno di gente con lo spritz in mano nonostante l'ora tarda, mi sono fermato un attimo a guardarli passare mentre il motore ticchettava.Poi su per Porta Genova e ancora un giro senza meta, tanto sapevo gia che a casa non avrei dormito comunque con questo caldo, meglio in sella che sotto il ventilatore che gira aria calda e basta.

Ejszakai kor a Dunan

Night Ride City Café Racer

Ma este vegre megneztem, hogy fest a Bonneville ejszaka a varosban. A vilagitas uj, a hangja is mashogy szol sotetben, mint nappal.Lementem a Dunapartra, at a Szabadsag hidon, aztan vissza a Lanchidnal. Alig par auto, csak a motor hangja es a viz csillogasa a fenyekben.Megalltam par percre a hidnal, csak neztem a Var kivilagitva. Ilyenkor eri meg a sok munkat a garazsban.

Quedada en el parking de Bonaire y el salto que no salio bien

Meetup Stunt Riding Buddies

Quedada con los colegas en el parking del centro comercial Bonaire, sabado por la noche, cuando ya no queda ni un coche. Alguien propone saltar el bordillo bajo con el rebufo de las farolas, y claro, me toca a mi ir el primero.La 701 sube bien el morro pero el aterrizaje no fue el mas limpio del mundo, casi me como el manillar. Los colegas aplaudiendo como si hubiera salido perfecto, yo con el corazon a mil.Segunda vuelta ya mas fino, ahi si que quedo decente. Nos quedamos hasta las tantas hablando de motos y riendonos del primer intento. Asi son las noches buenas.

Somewhere Between Kingman and Nowhere

Night Ride Highway Road Therapy

Rode out past Kingman again last night, chasing that stretch of old 66 where the road just disappears into the dark and the only light is your own headlamp.Pulled off at an old gas station that's been closed for years, just to sit for a minute. Engine ticking, stars coming out one by one, not another soul for miles.There's something about that kind of quiet that puts things in order in your head. Rode the rest of the way home slow, in no hurry to get anywhere in particular.

Manha na Arrabida

Coastal Road

Sai de casa antes das sete, ainda com o ceu cor-de-rosa sobre o rio. Fui pela estrada da Arrabida, aquela que sobe entre pinheiros e depois abre para o mar la em baixo.Parei num miradouro perto de Sesimbra, o mar completamente parado, nem uma vela a vista. A Scrambler ainda quente, o cheiro a pinho misturado com sal. Fiquei ali sem pressa nenhuma.Voltei pela serra, estrada vazia, so o som do motor entre as arvores. Cheguei a casa com o dia ainda a comecar para os outros.
