The Calling Of The Open Road

Working at a law firm is about as conservative a lifestyle as one can imagine. The career effectively structures and confines one’s life. I was determined to break out of this confinement. My first inclination was to make a list of the things I would do. Then it hit me. Making a list is exactly a thing I did not need to do.

I hastily escaped the office cell and jumped into my SUV to immerse myself in the freedom of the road. It was then I realized that this was something I had missed from my youth. I had learned how to drive when I was nineteen and thought how great it was to be out on the road. I remember having the windows rolled down in the summer time and having the breeze flow through my hair. This was freedom and I wanted to experience it again.

The traffic light stopped me. As I awaited the green, I turned to my right to see a well outfitted man and his significant other on a noisemaker. It was a stylish, yet rugged looking bike. He looked like a model dressed as a bike rider. He wore a well maintained leather jacket that looked almost new. He was covered from head to toe with a black helmet, gloves, and stylish leather boots. It was hard to tell his age. His female companion also appeared attractive and dressed in a similar fashion. This was my calling.

I thought that could be me riding that hog. I could at least rent one this weekend and see how the experience grabs me. I decided to head home to find the nearest available motorcycle shop. I opened the garage door and parked the SUV. As I was entering the door, I noticed some of my other failed attempts at breaking out. There was a jet ski on the side, fishing rods, and alpine skiing equipment. However, none of those gave me the freedom I desired.

I was convinced that this time I would prevail. It was something that seemed very convenient. I did not need access to a snow covered mountain or a body of water. I could go for a ride anytime I wanted and enjoy the feel of the open road. I pulled out a business directory and searched for some local dealers. I selected the nearest one that was a popular domestic brand. This was the one I desired.

The salesperson at the store was very understanding even with my over inquisitive approach. He provided me with all the relevant details regarding the selection, options, and prices. He was very well dressed and donned a stylish men’s sport watch. I told him my goal was to experience the joy of the open road. He thought a low rider with a high handle bar would be the perfect solution. I was eager to take it for a ride. I inquired about renting or leasing the bike for a few days.

He apparently had received similar requests from previous customers. He knew where I was coming from. There were many people who wanted to enjoy the thrill and excitement of riding a motorcycle. However, making an immediate commitment can be difficult. There are other considerations such as spouse and relatives to account for. They had a weekend lease I could sign. I was set for the open road.
