The motorcycle, the essential. Without it, a road trip does not have the same flavor. For some, they lose their raison d’être.
For such trips, it will be much more than a way of transportation. It will be a living room chair, a power source, the kitchen cupboards, the bathroom mirror, or even a source of lighting. And then it will carry the shelter, the sleeping …
It will be, according to tastes and moments, just a workhorse, or on the contrary the focal point of the landscapes crossed. A somehow magical instrument that turns travel into adventure. Because the biker is not in a position to ‘look at the landscape’ as in a larger vehicle. He makes one with it. He leans in the curves, feels the heat of the sun, the breath of the wind, the rain … We sometimes look at reading as a means of escape, by modeling on the text the images from our imagination. A motorcycle road trip produces the opposite. The images that scroll build a story that develops an imagination.
