I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I left home and went to the Air Force, but I came to really appreciate getting outside in the elements to fix airplanes. Every job I have worked-at since has had some element of outdoorness and fixing mechanical devices. Now, I want to be an HVAC (heating and air conditioning)tech when I grow-up. The only sucky thing about that is the potential for commuting to work in the company truck. I am hoping to get a job with a school system, which means I can at least ride the scoot to the shop before enveloping myself in the comfort of a maintenance truck.<br />JohnCombatscoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071295308408784447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-40596089606241963032007-01-21T14:25:00.000-06:002007-01-21T14:25:00.000-06:00As motorcyclists, we accept that there will be tim...As motorcyclists, we accept that there will be times when we are cold/hot/numb. I don't even think about it, it just a fact. I just love being on the motorcycle and getting around. Pure bliss :)Biker Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994597212491993059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-79175030680428092062007-01-20T12:13:00.000-06:002007-01-20T12:13:00.000-06:00I second motion that this is an inspired post. Yo...I second motion that this is an inspired post. You've identified a riding truth that is lost to most people. <br /><br />I get asked the same questions and feel much the same as you do. I even ask myself at times when I am on the road and my hands are numb and no warmth is in sight why I am still happy. Exhilaration, anti-boredom, its all there in your post.<br /><br />It's 25 degrees F right now and after I down this piece of lasagna in front of me I am going to head out for a ride knowing my hands will be hurting when I get home. <br /><br />Wouldn't pass it up though because the rides are great.Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13520267.post-43221705729506193362007-01-19T16:10:00.000-06:002007-01-19T16:10:00.000-06:00Thanks Gary.

But when you become a Rider, you welcome reality back into your life and learn to appreciate it's myriad stimuli. <br /><br />You become de-numbed, like taking the red pill in "The Matrix". <br /><br />I enjoyed reading this. Thanks.<br /><br />Ride well,<br /> =gc=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
