Overly large, overly bright, and overly shiny. Against a backdrop of brand new Harleys, modern and soulless; racks of unworn leather jackets, unused parts and accessories&#8230; I felt like a curious relic. There was something about that spacious, immaculate showroom that didn&#8217;t quite square with my rebellious sensibility. I made my way with uncertainty to the front counter, feeling like I was operating on a different frequency, in some sort of warped alternate universe. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I told the woman that I had a bike brought up that morning from Connecticut; she nodded and pointed to the back of the warehouse, to the service department. I made the mistake of listening to myself as I spoke &#8211; it sounded like another person was talking. How long had it been since I&#8217;d been in a shop like that? I didn&#8217;t even want to think about the passage of so many years. Like a different lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t recall why exactly I moved to Florida or what it was I was searching for. Suffice it to say I didn&#8217;t find it. There was a boyfriend with a Sportster who had gotten himself a job at a Harley shop as a mechanic, and with many vague ideas and half-baked romantic notions, I followed him. I went to college; I didn&#8217;t go to college. I met similarly lost souls in late-night bars that played bad southern rock on the jukebox. I plucked oranges and grapefruits from my fruit trees, and got drunk with shady but colorful characters, some of whom are probably dead or incarcerated now. I learned carpentry, I worked temp jobs, I stuffed envelopes late at night with other biker chicks, and got stoned a lot. And eventually I had the good sense to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these memories came to me as I stood at the service counter, gazing wearily into the cavernous repair shop at the &#8217;73 Servi-Car that stood proudly like some sort of Egyptian Pharaoh exhumed from a bygone past. I felt bleary and ill at ease as I related information to the service manager.<\/p>\n<p>Damn. If I didn&#8217;t know better, I&#8217;d almost say that my old friend seemed relieved and elated to have been emancipated from the claustrophobic confines of my parents&#8217; garage, deep in the forsaken bowels of suburbia. Back amongst its own kind, though, like me, just a little out of step and out of time. But unlike me, looking and sounding damn fine and unflinchingly confident.<\/p>\n<p>I exchanged the necessary pleasantries and got the hell out of there as fast as I could. All the old ghosts chased me back to my car as I fought to regain my equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>It is of no use whatsoever to hold onto regrets or to wish for those years back. A terrific waste of time and energy. All you can do is take what you like, discard the rest, and move on. As I did when I packed up and left the land of misfit toys and moved back up north &#8211; taking that beautiful motorcycle with me.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5914\" style=\"width: 310px\"
