THE PART OF THE RIDE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT…
Everybody sees the bikes.
They see the freedom, the open road, the brotherhood, the pictures and the miles. But nobody really talks about how hard that road can be. They don’t talk about the near misses. The potholes, loose gravel and debris. The rain, wind, heat and storms that make you question whether you should keep going. The deer and animals that come out of nowhere. The driver who never saw you… or the one looking at a phone who drifted just a little too close.
Sometimes that road will eat you up and spit you out. And when you’ve been riding for hours, it isn’t only physical. It’s mental and emotional too. You’re constantly watching, thinking, calculating and praying.
Did I see everything? Did they see me? Do I have enough room? What’s that car about to do? What’s around this curve?
You learn a lot about yourself on the road. You learn a lot about the people riding beside you too. And some days, the goal isn’t the destination, the scenery or the miles. The goal is simply to make it home.
So to everyone sharing the road with motorcycles: PLEASE WATCH FOR RIDERS. Look twice before changing lanes. Check your blind spots. Put the phone down. Give motorcycles room. That biker beside you is somebody’s husband, wife, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend—and they want to make it home too.
And to every rider: never let experience make you careless. Stay alert. Respect the road. Watch out for one another. And never be ashamed to pray before you roll out. Because after one of those long, difficult days—when you finally pull in, shut the bike off, put your feet on the ground and realize GOD carried you through every mile—sometimes there really aren’t many words left.
Just…
THANK YOU, GOD.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
â€â€Psalms‬ â€121‬:â€7‬-â€8‬ â€NIV‬‬
Brothers always ride alert, prepared and always for JESUS.
May GOD always go before you, clear the roadways, like the way HE split the Red Sea, surround you with a hedge of protection and get you home safely each and everyday in JESUS NAME.
