|  The simple things in life...
Several years ago, a friend of mine asked what I loved about riding and not to give him the normal responses everybody else usually gave him. I looked him in the eye, smiled and said: "I love the smell of the inside of a helmet just after you put it on in anticipation of a ride." He paused, thought for a moment, looked at me and then walked away thinking I was being sarcastic or something. A few months later, he got a motorcycle. Recently, he came over to hang out and just out of the blue, he turned to me and said, "Do you remember when I asked you what you loved about riding a motorcycle and you made some stupid *** comment about the smell of a helmet?" I just stared at him. He then said, "I now understand what you meant. Every time I put on my helmet, I smell that smell and can't help but smile." At any rate, I just had the sudden urge to share that. Anybody else have any "simple things in life" quirks about motorcycle riding? I thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys (and gals) had to say. |
