For the sake of the story
You can be number one and I’ll be two
That does not mean that I
Am or are any better than you.
We all met in the morning
After we’d filled up enough
The ride captain recited his briefs
He told us which way was up.
Then it was stands up suddenly
We were all off and on the go
You and I changed our positions
The lead swinging back to and fro.
You were Anthony Gobert on the corners
I was Evel Knievel loose on the road
I couldn’t match you on the corners
You couldn’t see me ahead on the road.
We all pulled into the servo
We laughed as we refueled
Comparing thoughts of one another
On how responsibly we had dueled.
Back to highway we ventured
You took to the lead at first
Swapping places with each other
Each giving the revs a burst.
We stopped at our destination
We bragged of our knowledge and skills
We both smiled nervously at the sign
Beware and slow down, speed kills.
More conversations had over dinner
The return ride was discussed
So good to ride with so many friends
With people you know you can trust.
I put my key into my motel door
I stood there quietly yawning
"Good night" she said as she left
"we'll do it again in the morning".
