Let me introduce myself. I am Torch. I ride a motorcycle named Mistress. I am a very inexperienced rider and have only been riding her now for about a year. I live in the D/FW, (Dallas / Fort Worth, Texas) Metroplex and commute a short distance to work almost daily on her. As of yet, (Jan. 29, 2009) ,I have not been on any long trips on her, but I plan to in the future.The musings on this blog are for several reasons:
One is to document my experiences of picking up motorcycling in my middle years.
Two, is for shear entertainment. Humorous things happen down the road of life. Sometimes they are not very funny at the time and can even be downright frustrating. However, looking back in retrospect they can be hilarious. After all, if you cannot laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Three, is that others may benefit from my experiences and learn from my mistakes, failures, and successes.
Lastly, it let’s me hone up on my writing skills and someday, maybe, I could put them into a book one day.
Ride on,
Torch
