same grins on our faces. And why wouldn't we?
It's all about getting out there, no matter what
you're doing it on. And there's no better time than
now. This weekend was more than a springtime
ride, this one coming after the yearlong winter
of Covid, serving as a reminder that the world is
waking from crisis, and better times are near.
Back home on Monday I came across a
vintage Royal Enfield poster, entitled "One Fine
Day." Coming across this poster right after our
weekend seemed as serendipitous as our Central
Coast rendezvous, itself. It appears to be from
about 80 years ago (the same eras as Dave's
Scout) when Europe was facing the dark times
of WW2, yet the words ring as true today as they
were then:
"When the sun is high and the birds are
singing, we'll ride out across the moors—loi-
tering perhaps to talk with some local sports-
man—consciously enjoying the peace which
will result from Victory and happy to be astride
a brand new Royal Enfield Motor Cycle.
"For just as in the past Royal Enfield Motor
Cycles have helped us to enjoy our pleasure
hours, so will they provide additional enjoyment
in the better times ahead."
Anywhere in between the unobtainable and
the accessible, between eight decades ago and
today, as well as into the future, motorcycles hold
the promise of the same timeless experience: an
escape from everyday stress, a link to new and
old friends, miles of adventure and the prospect
of a brighter tomorrow.
