Motorcycles I've Loved: A Memoir | Lily Brooks-Dalton
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
At 21 years old, Lily Brooks-Dalton is feeling completely lost; returning to New England after three years travelling the world, she finds herself without the direction or the drive to move forward. When a friend starts talking about buying a motorcycle, Brooks-Dalton is intrigued, and before long she is diving headlong into the world of gearheads, channeling all her energy into a quest for the perfect ride. At first, her passion for these powerful machines is a diversion, but what she finds riding and maintaining her own motorcycles is the momentum she had been seeking.

"the wind crashes against the sides of my head in waves, and the purr of the engine is like a mechanical om, shivering through me. the road rushes past and instead of struggling to possess it, I remember to exhale and feel the buzz of the pavement against my tires, the thrum of the open throttle beneath my palm. I remember that I don't own this road; I'm just using it."
