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 May piece, titled On Towards Tomorrow. Reflecting on the past avoids future pitfalls ... but looking to the future with positivity -- especially on two wheels -- makes for a life well lived.

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.

Sorrows of downtime
Have faded away
Those past memories
That had haunted me
No longer hold
Any more power
Years in the wind
Miles I have ridden
Softened this heart
That was hardened
Love and respect
I was longing for
Was found out there
Upon the road
Having outlived my past
With time I have left
I will twist the throttle
On towards tomorrow
