My Father's Motorcycles

My father has two motorcycles in the garage, a small gray with blue, and a bigger bluer one, each resting and leaning against its tripod waiting anxiously until they are to race around the streets, leaving hot tire marks and a small trace of burnt smell behind them. On Sunday’s or Saturday’s, they get the opportunity to run free and feel the air stride by, the sun warming them up and enjoy a beautiful scenery. No matter if it’s winter or summer, if it’s freezing or really hot, if it’s a cloudy day or a clear day, the motorcycles will have the opportunity to run free. The only exception my father has is when it is raining cats and dogs, then, he disappoints the motorcycles and let them build up their excitement for another week. My father is a passionate rider, he does not race, but loves to go out on short or long trips with friends to get to know new places, he dreams of going to Alaska one day, we all think he is crazy. Being a crazy father created a crazy daughter who also loves to join on the motorcycle’s trips and feel a surge of adrenaline with their speed. Sometimes before a trip, it’s necessary to check the motorcycle’s health and check if their tires have the right amount of air, if they have sufficient energy to withhold the trip and if they have all their components in place to avoid any accident on the road. My father loves to take his daughter with him on trips since its father-bonding time but always takes into account that it’s a dangerous sport and that he should take more precaution with his daughter. The motorcycle’s also feel when the daughter rides with them try their best to maintain stability and velocity at a good rate in order to minimize any possibility of an accident. It is amazing how these blue motorcycles can produce so much adrenaline on a human being and reduce their stress, bad thoughts and give them a feeling of inner peace, most probably an effect of enjoying beautiful scenery while feeling the air hitting you on your sides with a steady rhythm, and in a way, relaxing your body. All motorcycle’s have a very bad reputation but they insist that they are created with their best intention and design in order to provide the best experience ever to the riders.
