North San Diego County...10pm at night...a still night, the moon shines bright. Yet, above the tranquility could be heard a high revving sound. A lone Suzuki GSXR 759 sportbike. Yaowww...yaowwwww...then the engine idles. Yaowww...yaowwwww...the engine idles. Again and again. As our scene draws closer, we see Sammy riding around a neighborhood cul de sac: taking off, practicing his turns, shifting through the gears, speeding up. slowing down, stopping...taking off again...
Earlier in the evening, Sammy was sitting on his bike, in his garage, staring at his bike's odometer, contemplating, "Seriously? I can't be scared. Okay, I've had this bike for a year now, and I only have 15 miles on it. How sad is that?? I just have to ride. Now." This is how it went every night, for two weeks. Sammy honing his riding skills. Over and over. In the beginning, his top speed was no more than 25 mph, but with each night's practice session, his proficiency increased. Today, more than seven years later, Sammy can be seen slicing through the freeway on his GSXR 1000, effortlessly handling tight curves, speeding at 100 mph...racing...
aHbe Racer's pre-launch will be at Mihali Cycles on March 5th. Only three more days. Mild anxiety creeping in. Doubts try to emerge. "Can we really do this?? What if no one comes?? How will this look like??" Two months of preparation, riding around the block practicing, so to speak. Following Him on this journey and He's led us to this place. We're humbled, grateful and excited. Moto-inspired apparel, reaching across communities en route. always Him before everything. Three...two...one...take off...while the wheels are spinning...
