Ever post a pic, blog, or video and think it...
My fathers ancestors moved into what is now Canada over 500 years ago from France, my mother is of German descent, her family emigrated into North and South Dakota over 300 years ago, and travelled north into Humbolt Saskatchewan by wagon train in the mid 1800's to farm, hence the moniker Ocanada. I like the rest of you have a passion to ride, and express something about myself in the design of the bike. I have many interests, most of which once put in print may seem a little extreme, hockey, fishing, hunting, paintball, boxing, and MMA. I also dabble in photography, travel fairly extensively, read voraciously, and snore on occassion. I've been riding on and off for around 30 years now, and still enjoy it as much as the first time out. I left the house at the ripe old age of 14, so my life experiences have been many in quantity and fairly diverse,
I currently live in Elmvale, 1 1/4 hours north of Toronto, and a stones throw away from Wasaga beach (worlds largest freshwater beach), The population of Wasaga is around 16,000, which swells to 250.000 in the summer, This makes for some great additional scenery in an area already abundant with natural beauty. Apparently it is rumored that more than the population swells during this period of high activity.
The Bikers Creed, (altered slightly to my understanding and beliefs)
Author: Unknown
I ride because it is fun. I ride because I enjoy the freedom I feel from being exposed to the elements, and the vulnerability to the danger that is intrinsic to riding.
I do not ride because it is fashionable to do so.
I ride my machine, not wear it. My machine is not a symbol of status. It exists simply for me, and me alone.
My machine is not a toy. It is an extension of my being, and I will treat it accordingly, with the same respect as I have for myself.
I strive to understand the inner-workings of my machine, from the most basic to the most complex.
I strive to constantly better my skill of control over my machine. I will learn it’s limits, and use my skill to become one with my machine so that we may keep each other alive.
I do not fear death. I will, however, do all possible to avoid death prematurely. Fear is the enemy, not death. Fear on the highway leads to death, therefore I will not let fear be my master. I will master it.
I do not ride to gain attention, respect, or fear from those that do NOT ride, nor do I wish to intimidate or annoy them. For those that do not know me, all I wish from them is to ignore me. For those that desire to know me, I will share with them the truth of myself, so that they might understand me and not fear others like me.
I will never be the aggressor on the highway. However, should others fuck with me, their aggression will be dealt with in as severe manner as I can cast upon them.
I will show respect to other bikers more experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will learn from them all I can. However, if my respect is not acknowledged or appreciated, it will end.
I will not show disrespect to other bikers less experienced or knowledgeable than I am. I will teach them what I can.
It will be my task to mentor new riders, that so desire, into the lifestyle of the biker, so that the breed shall continue. I shall instruct them, as I have been instructed. I shall preserve and honor traditions of bikers before me, and I will pass them on unaltered.
I will not judge other bikers on their choice of machine, their appearance, or their profession. I will judge them only on their conduct as bikers. I am proud of my accomplishments as a biker, though I will not flaunt them to others. If they ask, I will share them.
I will stand ready to help any other bikers that truly needs my help. I will never ask another biker to do for me what I can do for myself. I am not a part-time biker. I am a biker when, and where-ever I go. I am proud to be a biker, and hide my chosen lifestyle from no one.
I ride because I love freedom, independence, and the movement of the ground beneath me. But most of all, I ride to better understand myself, my machine, the lands in which I ride, and to seek out and know other bikers like myself.
