Warrick
Luna trails behind me as I stride from the house, heading for my custom- designed motorcycle. The salt air is kissing it into a bucket of rust, but nothing to do about that in these parts. My brothers and I worked on my baby for a solid year, testing and perfecting each change until we hit the sweet spot. She's a vintage Harley, chopped low and mean like me. A chrome skull and crossbones leer from the handlebars, and the engine's a loud growl, warning shifters and humans alike to get the fuck out of the way, 'cause I'm going to blow through them, past them or over them. The frame's been converted to a rigid hardtail, we added eight inches to the frame tube, and the steering neck rake is set at an angle of forty-five degrees.
When I pull the motorcycle out of the garage and lean it on the kickstand, Luna climbs on the front. I bark out a laugh. Does she think I'm going to sit on the Queen seat?
