Few activities are more exhilarating than discovering the world around you on the back of a motorcycle. More importantly there is the sense that you are part of the landscape, out in the elements verses traveling in some four wheeled pod isolated from it. As for myself, the solitary hours spent riding, thinking, taking pictures and rediscovering the places I've driven by a million times before helped me developed a better sense of perception. Many of the roadside buildings and scapes in my paintings were found while riding a motorcycle. For each of us, the freedom and independence of riding a motorcycle remains a highly personal and unique experience.
