"I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that's what I do"
About this Quote
The sentence structure does a lot of work. It’s plainspoken, almost stubbornly unpoetic, which makes the emotion feel more believable: love, not “passion”; “clear my head,” not “find myself.” That’s the vocabulary of someone trying to keep interior life private, even while talking about it publicly. Chandler isn’t selling rebellion; he’s describing maintenance. The subtext is that mental clarity is not a mystical epiphany but a practical need, and the bike is his method.
Culturally, the motorcycle still carries old American symbolism - freedom, risk, a certain masculine independence - but Chandler strips away the bravado. This isn’t a leather-jacket fantasy; it’s an introvert’s escape hatch with an engine. He’s tapping into a contemporary anxiety: the sense that quiet has to be scheduled, defended, and sometimes literally ridden toward.
