Hey Guys, I wrote this about four years ago, it got published in superstreet bike, but they really edited it down and butchered it, but anyways just thought some of you might enjoy it.
It started inside of me as a little boy, my family made a trip to
Lubbock and I seen "the group" pull up to the light. I was frozen, jaw
hanging open,wide eyed looking at these colorful shiny bikes from out of
this world. These guys looked like super heroes to me, with their colorful helmets and mirrored visors. They started
burning it down and as they rolled out of the smoke I knew some day I
would be "One of Them". If I had only known it would have come this far.
For some it is only a sport, but for me it is a lifestyle. A passion
that flows thought my blood. Its part of who I am, I really can't
remember what life was like before I was a Superbike Pilot. Every friend
I have is because of the same passion we all share. We are a different
breed. A different kind of human. God makes all types, it makes the
world the way it is. Some are just more extreme than others. Some like
myself have to live it right out on the edge, where everything hangs in
the balance. We have all been there before, a place where the average
human will never risk going. You know the feeling, once you fly past that
100mph mark and right on into "God's Country" ...When every sense in your
body becomes one with the bike, where the slightest imperfection could
end it all but still you push your mentality and your bike to the
limits. This is when my faith is all I have protecting me, without it I
don't think I would still be in the sport. We have chosen the most
dangerous sport there is, but yet it's who we really are inside. We have chosen
the most lethal street legal weapon there is, and every weekend we use
it with precision. And we all know the consequences of not striving
toward perfection with it. So here we are, faced everyday with the
knowledge that this could be the last ride, so what do we do??? Love
every minute of it!!!! I am addicted to the adrenaline, to the speed,
the very essence of be a SUPERBIKE rider. So until the day comes that these
machines evolve to that of the performance of our brothers in the sky,
until that day comes when my bike can break the sound barrier, I will be faced
with the eternal question......What performance part should I buy next????
