Ecstasy of Bikes

Ride to Love

[Col des Mosses | 26.06.2011]

While on the road through the Alps, the sweet feeling of freedom kind of remind me one of the greatest text I read about riding. This is taken from the DicE #37...

“Ok man, total stream of conscience. Tried to sort of write down what I think about while on the bike.
Live to Ride, Ride to Live. Looking at the phrase nowadays can seem a little packaged and superficial. Watered down. I prefer this better. Love to Ride, Ride to Love.
We live in a world where things we love so much can get gobbled up by the masses and soon become so watered down as to find ourselves bitter about the future. Conformity is a bitch, all shapes and sizes of it, doesn't matter the type. Conform is a dirty word. We may struggle every day, with work, relationships, bills, the stresses of life in general. Who are we ? Why are we here ? Trust, friendship, love, what does it all mean ?
Love to Ride
I remember that feeling of being abandoned, needing a love so bad you physicallv hurt. Oh, but I remember that feeling when a brother hugs you and tells you it's good to see you. That feeling of seeing your woman's smiling face in the morning. Back and forth the mind goes searching the good and the bad. When your woman leaves you, or your dog dies. Fishing with your Dad. Meeting someone for the first time with a warm smile. Seeing your child’s face. Feelings that defy description. Oh, that is what we search for. Chills up the spine, goose bumps, that lump in the throat, tear in the eye. Sometimes, there’s nothing, nothing but feelings. Those feelings are everything and nothing all at the same time. Time stands still, and speeds up, or doesn’t even exist. Nothing matters but this moment. Nothing IS but now. Searching for what ? Dreams ? Connections ? Meaning ? Nothing ? Finding everything. Now is all we have. A machine, two wheels and a motor, it carries the body, mind, and spirit places. Some places are tangible, but the places that really matter are hopeful, soulful, bountiful, beautiful, spiritual, thoughtful and meaningful. Is it possible that 2 wheels can make you a better person ? Yes, yes it can. Ride to Love”

El Diablo Run 2011

[EDR 2k11]

EDR's Manifesto :
Here's the deal. The EDR is a unique event in that it's designed for people who ride older, home-built, custom motorcycles. Sure, you can ride a stocker or modern machine, but it probably won't be as fun. No one on the El Diablo Run is going to give you shit for what you ride as long as you have a good attitude. If you show up with an extra car battery to power your bike's stereo, neon lights, and think you are a tough guy because you bought a motorcycle... well, we can't guarantee your safety. Seriously, there are a bunch of events for you and this ain't one of 'em.

This run is a challenge for man and machine no matter how you slice it. The miles don't sound that far sitting on your computer. Mexico miles are a little different, so be prepared. If you haven't ridden on an EDR in the past, please thouroughly read all the information on this site and subscribe to the blog or join the event on Facebook to stay up to date as important details will be published throughout the months leading up to the event. You will be expected to pull your own weight and be self-sufficient. In the words of our friend Walt, "Douchebaggery will not be tolerated".

2011's edition just ended and you can right now follow the road through multiple eyes. Some have many posts about it, so keep following their stories ! :
