Ah yes, to the joys of writing...err, make
that reading...or make that a fab hot tub after a long ride...or
make that a single malt scotch aged to a perfect 25 years...or,
well...either or anyway, on these here pages you will find
literary delights from ESSCAPE members with a penchant for
the pen, most surely on par with "Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance"...'cept of course these bits
of literary excellence are hand hammered on a keyboard,
sent through the eMail ether, and nailed smack dab into
your synaptic viewing nerves...recommendations for the wearing
of safety goggles if the aforementioned proves to be anything
beyond delightful...
please note: Content for
the SCRIBES area must be eMailed
to me and must include all of the content found in each
category below...please also be advised that the editor
reserves the right to exclude articles with horridly offensive
material (and we are not talking about riding japanese bikes
mind you...smile implied).

"This
is an utterly horrible dead C90. I acquired it because
I thought the engine might fit in a Honda Dax 70 I
was restoring. I then found that this year of C90
engine won't fit. Oh well.
It's been in a leaky shed for at least a decade. It's
quite disgusting. It's red, fading to pink on some
plastic parts, and with a fine patina of matching
ferrous oxide. It's complete, except for the exhaust
which was so decayed it fell off when I was moving
it. The legshields are cracked. No documents and no
keys. The engine has compression and turns over, but
the speedo mileage of 46,000 suggests that it was
used by a Knowledge Boy with severe learning difficulties" |

"All
is well in the sandy land of Kuwait and Iraq. I am
temporarily residing in Kuwait and making the long
haul to the port of Umm Qasr every day.The trip takes
around 1.5 hrs. Once upon the open dessert ranges
of Kuwait and Iraq I can really let the GMC Yukon
rip. The average speed is usually around 100 to 110
mph.." |

BEFORE I GO I WANT TO LET ALL OF YOU KNOW HOW THANKFUL
I AM THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET YOU ALL AND RIDE
WITH MANY OF YOU." |

"All
the cool bikes had been reserved so I settled on a
simple Yamaha 250 road bike, cherry red fuel tank,
“easy rider” slung seat with matching
handle bar arrangement. I lashed my day pack to the
small rack and was soon growling up the narrow streets
of Cala Mayor seeking a back way out to the roads
leading north to Valldemossa." |

"The
madness that is GA78 soon gave way to I-285 then I-640
and finally I-75 south toward Macon, the little four
cylinder truck engine heaving in and out of high gear
as the cruise control coped with the long rolling
terrain south of Atlanta. We had commitments back
in Savannah that night so the ride home had some urgency
to it and as we rolled along the conversation in my
mind turned to the wisdom of my purchase..." |
