 Posted: 13:06 - 08 Dec 2004  Post subject: How would you describe biking... |
 |

...and not in single words or txt msg format but in a paragraph of prose.
I'm interested as I came across the following from T E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).
| T E Lawrence wrote: | A skittish motorbike, with a touch of blood in it is better than all the riding animals on earth, because of its logical extension of our faculties, and the hint, the provocation, to excess conferred by its honeyed untiring smoothness. Because Boa loves me, he gives me five more miles of speed than a stranger would get from him. |
NOTE: Boa was Lawrence's pet name for his Brough Superior, short for Boanerges 'Sons of Thunder', the title Jesus gave to disciples James and John
...and for me the better of the 2 quotes...
| T E Lawrence wrote: | The burble of my exhaust unwound like a long cord behind me. Soon my speed snapped it, and I heard only the cry of the wind my battering head split and fended aside. The cry rose with my speed to a shriek while the air's coldness streamed like two jets of iced water into my dissolving eyes. I screwed them into slits and focused my sight two hundred yards ahead of me on the empty mosaic of the tar's gravelled undulations |
Looking forward to see others descriptions

My senses are heightened as I stay alert to the constant dangers around me. I gingerly manouvre between two lines of cars, looking like multi-coloured snakes as they dim into the distance. Different sounds bombard my ears I pass each car, blending into a cacaphony of noise which I have no time to interpret. Suddenly a section of the snake darts right in front of me, breaking away from the line. My heartbeat increases as adrenalin courses through my veins and, as if a spiritual being takes over my soul, my right hand presses hard on a lever and instantly my machine stops. My anger rises and I turn the bike into a menacing one eyed gargantuan, roaring loudly with a bright beam of penetrating light to express my displeasure at this intrusion into my pathway.
Filtering is such fun 
Apologies to T E Lawrence
