Hello everybody and welcome to the July issue of Fast Lane Biker.

Summer is in full effect and events are going on all around the Tri State area. The weather has been just about perfect, so get out there and take advantage of it while you can.

This month the Appalachian Moto Jam dirt track race will be taking place at Oakland Valley race track.

This is just one of the events this promoter works on and it’s always a good time and has something for just about everyone

A LOOK BACK IN TIME...

WITH ‘PULSATING PAULA’

JULY, 2017

33

www.fastlanebikernj.com

In the back of the barn Behind old washing machines, As hidden as memories, That nobody sees, Condemned to her silence amid the droning of bees.

You can smell the old barn wood, There's used leather in there Ragged and twisted And a lot worse for wear.

Over the boxes, a seat for the truck I stand in the clearing, Amid generations of junk She leans on her stand, In the beauty of rust, With glimpses of chrome Is a layer of times dust.

The roads she once ventured Come back into view, The memories of time And all that I knew.

Will she ride with the wind Through a dream just once more Or will she remain in the dark On the old barn wood floor.

Where she leans on her stand In the beauty of rust With glimpses of chrome In the layers of times dust.

Run Inspired © 2017 ...

Run goin' on, but I can’t go.

Bike needs work... and have no dough...

Used to let this... bother me...

Hid and whined, in misery.

These days...

I just let it roll...

Must have fun... so now we stroll... ‘midst two wheels, parked all around...

Time with friends... while feet on ground.

Staying out, we party late...

Fellow riders... made things great...

Now, back home, I go in shop..

Grab my ride... and on her, hop.

Must fix bike... and make her roll...

Riding is real good... for soul...

Run’s inspired, my new goal... © Panhead Rod RSOA ™ 2012

Past Days Fast Daze Slinking onto the I95 entrance ramp The highways' wind like a sirens call Beckoning motion closer come hither Seductively running it's fingers through my hair Whispering in my ears enticing me forward, faster faster faster now Grabbing the clutch with ease Another gear up twisting throttle moving forward Shadow having a hard time by my side keeping up The sun on my back biting my neck Entrance ramp in the rear view No need to look back it's gone Like past days fast daze only thing That matters now is the road ahead The car filled with kids pointing Parents staring at 85 I pay them no mind Once upon a time I was that kid in the back seat Wish upon a star and one day you are Slinking onto the I95 entrance ramp..... © Sorez

Inspiration Riding and writing come from within my very soul They took a broken man and made me whole I find rhyme and verse within the wind That’s where poetry begins What the wind whispers to me Is I may find inspiration in everything I see The open road leads to an open mind Where dreams and reality become entwined I sort through the scattered thoughts and memories Of what the ride provided me Then arrange them into words to share It’s for you I lay my soul to bare © Lee Buddah Haverstick Black Rose Poetry ™ , Road Scribes of America ™ Made Bones I live a life that's blessed One I do not deserve Never taking one moment For granted Through heartache and stress I've endured Causing confusion Halfway insane Staying one step Ahead of the game Leaving the past Where it belongs In the closet With skeleton bones © Sorez Road Scribes of America ™

Throwing Letters At The Wall Words are words of feelings Unsheathed from time to time They are worse than flesh wounds Words carve scars into the mind.

I'm in possession of a pen So I can write the words I see I can sketch a verbal sunset Describe a stately pine I can see what others miss Down the halls of darkened minds, Discarding things I do not want Wherever words may fall I can see connected meanings Throwing letters at the wall.

Fred Steele © 2015 Road Scribes of America ™ 2012

True Colors You don’t have to wear the same patch as me to be my brother But you damn sure will need to earn my respect like all the others Just because you ride a motorcycle is not good enough for me It’s about your attitude, your heart, and integrity Any brother of mine must understand That it’s not the patch that makes you a man The patch you fly is yours and mine is mine But ones true colors will come out in time How you choose to treat me is what you’ll get in return Either good or bad will be a lesson learned I have many acquaintances and many brothers too In my world that all depends on you If I call you my brother, that comes with love and pride It comes from within not what’s on the outside. ©34 Lee Buddah Haverstick, Black Rose Poetry ™ , RSOA ™
