Late summer a few years back. Outside Austin. Words of my brother...
I removed the cover off her ‘86 lowrider, I swung my leg over and settled onto the solo seat. I turned the gas on, pulled out the choke and twisted the throttle twice, pushed the starter button and the EVO TWIN jumped to life with a low rumble. I left the yard slowly as the Harley started to warm up. Turning onto the black top, I rode towards the west as the sun was starting to lower on the horizon. It was a large ball of orange as the evening was warm and clear. The bike ran smoothly in spite of having 46,000 miles showing on the odometer, most of which were put on by her during the 18 years she rode her Harley she loved so much.
I opened it up a little to make the pipes talk to us as she loved to do so often, all the while riding toward the setting sun. As the sun started to lower out of sight, I took the cover off the container and slowly let the breeze carry the ashes of my loved one off the back of the bike. I did not look back as I rode into our last sunset together. I know she is smiling - knowing that our last ride together was doing what we loved to do together.
