Sunshine, warm weather, the smell of young grass; waking up without any
help from the alarm clock; starting to put things to their places;
cleaning and waxing your black leather suit and then buffing it to a
nice gloss; taking a moment to admire it and then moving on to greet
your boots with the same treatment; close the waxing session with the
back side of your gloves, your leather scarf and your neck warmer.
Get your bucket filled up with lukewarm water, grab your bag of tricks and get down to the basement; start thoroughly cleaning your motorcycle with water, then move on to the lights and gauges, then wipe the windshield squeaky-clean, then shine the fenders and side covers until their black becomes so deep you feel like drowning in it, then shine all the chrome until you cannot look at it without wearing sunglasses.
Finish by waxing and shining the leather on the saddle, side bags and sissy bar until it looks just like new; gather all your stuff and go once around it to admire it; lock her up and bid her farewell.
Change clothes and go out to grab something for lunch, return and indulge with a southern fried chicken breast fillet in a steaming baguette sided by cherry tomatoes and sauerkraut and end the feast with
a generous portion of banana split and peppermint ice cream with a raspberry topping.
Lay down on the couch and watch the afternoon sun while listening to good music and enjoying the dessert.
Probably the best way to spend a weekend afternoon for a man that finds himself alone at the moment.
