The Motorcycle Diaries

Free and unencumbered, we ride along,

Without any worries or fear,

Guided only by the road beneath,

Admiring the myriad forms of nature.


Braving the sweltering heat of noon,

The icy cold air of the night,

While enjoying the loving bliss of dawn,

The mystical aura of twilight.


Concrete jungles and the open countryside,

Encountering both on the way,

Getting lost occasionally while conquering,

Rugged terrain and empty highways.


Pausing for nourishment at tea stalls and dhabas,

Resting overnight at a cheap motel,

Exploring the length and breadth of the country,

Halting at a gas station to refuel.


A bond is formed between man and machine,

Which cannot be described or compared,

Less of a vehicle and more of a human,

With whom thoughts and emotions can be shared.


An unknown destination awaits us,

Matchless thrills and unadulterated pleasure,

The ride of a lifetime which will give us,

Priceless memories to be treasured forever.


"What we had in common - our restlessness, our impassioned spirits, and a love for the open road." - Ernesto 'Che' Guevara
