Drover, Long May You Ride BIKERS ARE A STRANGE BREED
By K. Peddlar Bridges aka The Roadpoet, Laconia Motorcycle Week® Poet
Writers: Gloria Tramontin Struck and K. Peddlar Bridges / the Roadpoet Exchange their books on the Boardwalk ... Laconia Motorcycle Week®.
Bikers are a strange breed Because when it comes to living Most folks act as if they're going To live forever
And feel short changed
When they don't
But most Bikers know the truth When it comes to life
We’re all just passing through So you might as well enjoy the ride
What others measure
In dollars and cents
Most Bikers measure
In speed and chrome
Cast iron - stainless steel Black rubber - engine power
And it's what your gauges Measure that counts,
Not other people’s expectations
It’s twisting the wick Snapping the next gear Going down the red line While you streak
Down the white line Leaving all the citizens To stay in line
‘Cause you know the truth ... We're all just passing through---
AND HEAVEN IS JUST ONE MORE GEAR UP!
Laureate and Historian.
