#97 Revs Up

Checking the oil

And busting my knuckles

Putting in new spark plugs

To feed the mighty fire

28 years ago

She was brand spanking new

Dazzling my eye

As I wandered the showroom

Now here it is

In all it's glory

Still working

Still sexy

Still the apple of my eye

Despite all attempts

By the mighty Motor Company

I can't shake the feeling 

That this is how a motorcycle should look

I swing a leg over
And thumb the starter

I'm 18 again

All I can see before me

Is the '80's gauges and handlebar

The sound is a V-4 roar

I squint my eyes

Light up the tire and wheelie out of the lot

And keep on going

Chasing the sun

Reality sucks

I think I'll live in this fantasy world
