easy rider

Biak, Indo, from the bike.

You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other ... Plans are deliberately indefinite, more to travel than to arrive anywhere ... Secondary roads are preferred ... We want to make good time, but for us now this is measured with emphasis on "good" rather than "time" ... Twisting hilly roads are long in terms of seconds but are much more enjoyable on a cycle ... roads where ... kids wave to you when you ride by, where people look from their porches to see who it is, where when you stop to ask directions or information the answer tends to be longer than you want rather than short, where people ask where you're from and how long you've been riding.
