“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!’
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!’
Merely this and nothing more.”
– Edgar Allen Poe, “The Raven”
The bike has a name at last: Lenore.
Making it official
The name wasn’t on my list of candidates. Instead, like every good name, it just popped into my head and it clicked. (For those of you who missed why a name is important, read this.)
Now to finish that cigar (a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real) and get some writing done.

Excellent! Truly a name befitting the dark lady!

Ever been to the Sturgis Ralley? You’d have fun there.

Not yet. I’d like to someday.

You using the double Corona’s as an excuse to write less?
And why the hell not… it’s summar. There will be plenty of time in the winter to enjoy a shorter smoke and a longer write.

Oh, I can usually write while smoking. The problem with waiting is I’m also under contract.
