Feature Series

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 January piece, titled Peace Filled Miles ... look forward and set your goals, not based on where you've been, but on where you want to go. May 2026 take you where you need to be ... hopefully on two wheels.

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.

I do not miss all of the chaos
That always kept me on the edge
Restless days and sleepless nights
Rabid thoughts racing in my head
Was living my life in sixth gear
Where there was no slowing down
Giving no thought to tomorrow
Knowing that it might not come
There was no rhyme or reason
On how or why I made it through
But one thing cannot be denied
It was not of my own doing
Tearing off another calendar page
Thankful for another year given
Able to ride on down the road
Into peace filled miles up ahead
