Keith,

This is a nice idea for a poem.
For me in the first two stanzas it paints the picture of a mechanic and possibly a dirt bike/enduro racer, as that is who uses two stroke engines. However by S4 he is being identified as a biker. That is a little confusing, especially as S3 which was a neat idea failed to carry much information.If you are going to say "biker to mod", you don't really need to say "A to B". "He burned his brightest into mirrored chrome," His brightest what? I really don't have a clue. Nice ending, the use of "pillion" combined with "screamer" and "fishtail" paints a very sensual image.

Thanks Dale, Motor cross, and many street bikes used to be two stroke, RD 250 etc I was using this to set the era as the stigma was much more prevalent 70's 80's. I will have a look at the other lines you reference. Best Keith
