know your bikers
I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.But you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday
I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.But you didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant.But you
didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.But
you didn't see me driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children.But you didn't see
me when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you stare at my long hair.But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.But you didn't
see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.
I saw you look in fright at my tattoos.But you didn't see me cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in my heart.
I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.But you didn't
see me going home to be with my family.
I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.But you
didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you yelling at your kids in the car.But you didn't see me pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.But
you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next
turn.
I saw you race down the road in the rain.But you didn't see me get
soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.But
you didn't see me trying to turn right.
I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.But
you
didn't see me leave the road.
I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.But you didn't see
me.
I wasn't there.
I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off. I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family.
But you didn't see me.
Hope that people will understand the biker community.
I hope you never loose someone that rides. Have a great week, my friends
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly,
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.
