For biker scribe Eddie ‘Sorez’ Pliska, poetry is as much about capturing his passion for the moto lifestyle and the raw energy of two-wheeled travel in prose, as it is about documenting determination in the face of the often-harsh struggles of life. He has had his fair share of both.

Here is Sorez's exclusive February piece, titled Time Out, which recognizes that time every year when the bike stays in the garage, even for stalwarts. Just common sense. Looking forward to Spring!

Sorez, a contributing writer for Outlaw Biker Magazine who also has a popular book of poetry out, graciously pens some inspiration for the NYC Motorcyclist community each month. You can read more about Sorez in a feature NYC Motorcyclist published in the spring of 2018.

Time Out

It has been a week
Away from the road
It feels like a lifetime
If the truth be told
I do not mind temps
As they drop degrees
Or frost on my breath
Through chattering teeth
Heated gear, neck to toes
Surely keeps frostbite off
If freezing rain turns to snow
Black ice forms on the ground
My bike will start but I do know
Time for me to stay off the road.
