Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

It's amazing - the perceptions we have about people, simply because we were conditioned to think a certain way by our elders.
Growing up, we were bombarded with linking motorcyclist with negative emotions - the road bandits or the motocross yobbos terrorising the streets in small villages, seemingly living their lives outside the law.
Movies and television shows would have us think they are extremely violent characters, hellbent on hurting anyone who dares cross their path; often snatching purses and knocking down pedestrians whilst they zoom off, laughing into the distance.
There is no doubt that such people do exist, the kind of violent and abhorrent bikers that care not for building relationships, society or neighbourly love but for robbing, stabbing and generally causing as much mayhem as they can muster; Thankfully, however, they are a but a tiny minority of motorcyclists - they are the ones that give bikers a bad name.
In our experience (so far), it is safe to say that over 90% of the bikers we have encountered have been nothing but kind, gentle, caring human beings - quick to rally around each other when one is down or in need of help - a wonderful array of different backgrounds, all sharing their lives in peace and harmony because of their shared love of enjoying the freedom of riding the long road ahead.
We have been blessed to meet such wonderful people, they have become close friends, extended families and even built relationships together. We shared joy and sorrow together, we laughed and cried together - we have been separated and brought back together; always picking up wherever we left off as if we had never been apart.
We take great pride in introducing to you the 'Hidden Faces behind the visor, the hidden faces you miss because of the helmet - the wonderful and undoubtedly the most misunderstood of road users you have never seen.
Take a moment to look into their eyes, admire their smiles and imagine their stories - these are the people that know what it is to feel joy on every time they hit the road - how many car drivers can say the same?

Only my 'third' BMW motorcycle & Sally's first, she was a good rider graduating from a 175cc Bantam D10... good days. That's freedom and self-sufficiency: no credit cards then (cash was carried for the whole trip, in five currencies), nor mobile 'phones. Everything one needed was carried aboard including the Nikon F camera which took this picture plus tools and spares (which turned out to be a waste of space, they were never needed).

Price Cobb March 76B. The Atlantic cars ran in support of the IMSA GT cars that weekend.
Obviously Price is a very shy person.
Happy Birthday to Arturo Merzario who turns 82 years old today.
While he competed in 85 Grand Prix, never finding a podium he also founded his own Formula One Team, but didn't realize any success there either, he did however win the 1970 Targa Florio and Spa 1000 Kilometres Sports Car Races in 1970.
What " Little Art ' accomplished at the German Grand Prix in 1976, sets him as a hero. He along with three other drivers pulled over to attend Niki Lauda's horrific crash at the Nurburging circuit.
Lauda's Ferrari engulfed in fire, the four of them helped to extract Lauda from the burning car. But Lauda himself stated that it was Merzario who braved the flames to pull him out of danger.
Bon compleanno Arturo !
