Despite the ever growing need for me to spend 24 hours a day studying, this weekend my dad brought one of the greatest joys to Jackson, Ophelia, my 2006 Harley Sportster 1200XL. She's back in Baton Rouge now, and I can't lie, I miss her.

I realize I'm the butch girl with the Hog, but riding offers me a chance to let it all go. It's just you and the road, and the joys, dangers, and smells that go with it. Too often riding in a car you are merely a bystander, watching as the world passes you by as if on a television screen. On a bike, you are the scenery. If you don't ride, I don't know if you'll ever understand...
"Sometimes it's a little better to travel than to arrive."
