Before being reincarnated as a motorcycle, Raquel was
a worker in the adult "hospitality" industry. Her
pleasant disposition and eagerness to please made her
so famous that people will drive for hours just for
the chance to spend some time with her. She was not
the prettiest or the smartest, but with her down to
earth disposition and her solid and "rotundus" figure
she was much sought after by people with nothing to
prove. (As she liked to put it: "I was built for
comfort, not for speed", but that was a little
misleading, considering that she had been known to
outperform younger and sportier competitors).
After many years and thousands of satisfied customers
it was her turn to pass on. Having mastered the
requirements for a higher consciousness, she was asked
what she will like her next reincarnation to be and,
without a moment of doubt, Raquel said: "I want to be
a Honda Pacific Coast Motorcycle, to continue giving
people the ride of their lives", and so it was.
I bought her in June 1998 and as February 2001 we have
ridden over 50K miles together. The more she rides the
better she gets.
