SO MUCH DEPENDS UPON A YELLOW MOTORCYCLEI thought of the striking poetic image of a red wheelbarrow in the rain as I watched my friend Guy Henry drive away from our coffee date on his yellow motorcycle. With apologies to William Carlos Williams:
THE YELLOW MOTORCYCLE
by J.M.
so much depends
upon
a yellow motor
cycle
glazed with California
sunshine
beside the silver
car.
THE RED WHEELBARROW
by William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

Motorcycling to me is poetic. Especially on this Italian make that I ride, it is more an emotional equation rather than quoting mechanical specs, acceleration numbers, top speed, and so forth.
And it unquestionably depends on California sun. Unless the road is dry, I am at home in my robe with the Sunday paper, my coffee, my boys, and my wife.
Thanks for the coffee talk and the cool photos!
