A few weeks ago there was a posting here in the Gulch that brought me to thinking a lot about long distance motorcycle riding and the whole freedom movement issue surrounding libertarian oriented politics.
As some here know I do a little bit of literary work of my own, and I enjoy it immensely. And I like it even more when some of my efforts are compared to authors like Rand. I wish Ayn Rand could have written more than four fictional novels and a few shorter pieces of fiction because her bold characters deserve to be expanded upon. One of my personal ambitions is to create characters like that not because Ayn Rand did it, but because she can no longer do it, and the world needs those kinds of characters. So for my own research into how to create those types of characters I went on a series of motorcycle adventures that were more inspired by Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Yet the effect is one that I am proud of.
It was because of that posting about motorcycle riding here in the Gulch that I got the idea to put some of those trips into a video to explain how I arrived at the results of my own literary endeavors. So I offer it here in the way that Richard Halley might offer his Fifth Concerto or an acting performance by Kay Ludlow. Some things are not meant for the eyes and ears of the outside world. But only for those in the Gulch.
