I found this poem on the Internet last week and thought I would post it on my blog. You can find additional biker poetry on this website.
My Harley to the End
“You wont ask me for much
Just a little of my time
To fix your aching joints
And fill your tanks with wine
To polish those rough edges
Keeping them looking new
Tighten up your spokes
Maybe a new paint job too.
Replace all your plugs,
Wire all your circuits
Bring out those fantastic colors
Painted without smudges
Take off those old rusty nuts
Shine up all those screws and such.
Replace your worn down tires
Works out to be quite a few hours
Of mental meditation
Decisions, contemplations
And some aggravations.
But all in all, I love you so
You take me places people don’t go.
You spend your time just hanging out
Waiting to take me all about
I could not ask for a better friend,
Me and my Harley to the end.”
-Kimberley A. Manning
And below is my motorcycle until the end!
