我知道有人把biking當作next to religion的事。我雖然是個新手，但是在有限的陸地飛翔的體驗中，已經很能理解為什麽有人會對此熱愛如斯。

速度並不稀奇，誰還沒做過飛機？但是biking讓你覺得速度是那樣的real。用你自己的身體突破空氣阻礙的感覺，是布什同誌那種cowboy behind windshield永遠體會不到的。

但是我做不到像jesse那樣視死如歸. 這個世界上有要我牽掛的人。當你愛上別人，接受別人的愛，甚至當你參與創造新生命以後，你的生命就不屬於你一個人了。為了我愛的，和愛我的人，我必須珍惜自己.

我很喜歡我的bike, 但我隻會treat my woman like a queen .

謝謝你;-)

I just read this episode about the biker, posting here especiall to Z. A: I have already done "knocking the wood" for you, I think you better do the same before you read on....

(Jesse was a biker, killed by a truck on the road. Marilyn is his wife. Nate is the guy holding the funeral for Jesse and below is the conversation between Marilyn and Nate, which I love very much every time I read it...)

Marilyn: I'm glad I could spend one last Christmas with Jesse. He was a crazy son of a bi*tch, but I sure loved him.

Nate: (smiles) I can tell.

Marilyn: (smiles back) God, did he know how to live! It was full-throttle all the way! We met in Sturgis, back in '78. (sits next to NATE) I was sitting at The Broken Spoke with the biggest bad-ass in town, but Jesse (laughs) he had some balls on him. He walked right up to me, I'll never forget it, and he said: "If I don't ask you to take a ride with me, I'll regret it the rest of my life." And that ride lasted 23 years. He always said his 2 favorite things were riding his hog and riding me (NATE smiles), and he treated us both like queens.

Nate: You're probably wishing he treated himself as carefully.

Marilyn: Oh, honey, it just wasn't in his blood. If he were a careful man, he might have lived longer, but... would he have enjoyed his life as much? Would I have enjoyed his life as much?

NATE smiles.

Nate: I had a bike in high school. Had it for a week before I wiped out. Just fu*cked it up royally! (MARILYN laughs) I still have a pin in my foot. I never got back on a bike after that.

Marilyn: Oh, I could never give it up. No way! Closest thing to flying without leaving the ground.

Nate: Sometimes I fool myself into thinking I live my life to the fullest but, compared to you and Jesse, I think I've got a lot to learn.

Marilyn: (smiling broadly) Honey, if I were a few years younger, I'd be willing to teach you.

Nate: Well, I just might let you.

She laughs.

Marilyn: Jesse always said you've gotta live every day like you might die tomorrow. 'Cause you know what?...

Nate: ...you just might.

She takes a big swig from a bottle of Jack Daniels, and makes a grimace as she swallows. She hands it to NATE and he also takes a swig. He grimaces even more than she did as he swallows it down, and she laughs again. He does too.
