There’s a certain kind of freedom that can only be found on two wheels. It’s the feeling of wind pushing against your chest, the rumble of the engine syncing with your heartbeat, and the world blurring past in your periphery as you carve through open roads. For motorcyclists, riding isn’t just transportation — it’s a way of life. wasn’t about speed back then. It was about connection. The machine responded to every movement with precision and raw honesty. There were no distractions — no phone calls, no radio — just the road and me. It was the first time I felt truly present.

“Life behind the handlebars” isn’t about rebellion or adrenaline — at least not always. It’s about choosing the road less traveled. It’s about embracing uncertainty, chasing sunsets, and discovering parts of yourself along the way. It’s about living deliberately, with your hands gripping the controls and your heart wide open.
