Welcome to the 2 wheel muse, the website that celebrates the stories,
emotions, and experiences of all things two-wheeled. There are two main
inspirations behind the creation of this site. First, it is the
realization that the motorcycle has played an important role in shaping
my own life, that the years of riding have provided me with a deep well
of emotions and experiences. Second, in seeking to publish and share
some of the stories that I was writing, I found there was no viable
outlet; some motorcycle publications even have the guideline that they
will accept no story with the word “I” in it.
In this site, I will serialize some of my own experiences in ‘Riding
Out’, a collection of stories covering the period when I left the Army
in 1971 and embarked on a cross country odyssey. I explore the genesis
of this is in more detail in the ‘Appreciation’ link, I hope you will
take the time to read it.
It is a pleasure to include the stories, pictures, and experiences of other riders who have chronicled their own two-wheeled adventures. These stories can be found by using the ‘Guests and Stories’ tab.
Photo galleries and other sundry comments can be found in 'Editor'.
The ‘Friends’ tab is a gateway to other links.
So enjoy the site and browse around. I hope you find something that
strikes a chord, something that inspires the muse in you. And when your
muse inspires you, write it up and submit it here, for all of us to share and
enjoy. So if you are the literary type, or manage your club's
newsletter, send us a story and some images to post on the site. The 2
Wheel Muse is a great place to publish your first story; you can use it
as a publishing reference, or provide the link to anyone who wants to
see a current sample of your work.
So, contribute something of your own to the ‘Muse’. The motorcycle world is waiting to see it.
