🔥 My Son Asked If I Feared Death — Ten Years Later, He Handed Me One Sentence
I started riding before I understood what I was trying to outrun.
At twenty-two, I bought an old Harley with chipped paint and a seat patched with electrical tape.
I was working nights at a warehouse outside Cookeville, loading boxes until my lower back burned.
My father had recently died from a heart attack at fifty-one.
My mother was drinking too much.
My younger brother had moved to Kentucky and stopped returning calls.
I did not have a grand philosophy.
I had anger, grief, and a machine loud enough to drown both of them out for an hour.
The Harley was never magic. It did not fix anything.
It did not make me wiser. It gave me a place where I had to be present.
Both hands on the bars. Eyes up.
Shoulders loose. Attention on the road, the weather, the cars drifting too close to the line.
