To me a motorcycle is the most rewarding means of travel. A harkening back to something ancient that puts the rider vulnerable to the surrounding world. Gone is the steel cocoon. The A/C. The heat. The radio spewing opinions and over played tunes. What's left is just you on the back of this machine. This motorcycle. Through the air it pounds effected by the wind, rain, heat, cold, bugs, and the ever present real danger of the road being inches from your feet as you push towards your destination. It makes one feel alive. It forces you to do so. Your sense become more aware of the world around you. Your eyes catch every movement. You feel the shifts in the wind and air temperature. The smells screaming through your helmet lend clues to near by back yard BBQs or pine trees around the next corner. It makes you be alive in the world and that's a beautiful thing. A heathy thing. Sure there are more comfortable means to travel across a country. And there are defiantly a million safer ways. But there are very few ways to make the journey effect you in such a way. One where you will look back on it years down the road and say I was never more alive in my life then I was on the back of that motorcycle. #klr650 #kawasaki #klrsonly #wolfpackendurox #everide #dualsport #dualsportlife #motorcycle #ride #travel #traveling #adventure #america #nature #beautiful #backpacking #livefree #liveauthentic #getoutside #outdoors #wanderlust #hiking #camping #view #explore #discover #journey #love #free #vagabond by come_hike_and_bike
