Danger Quote by L.J. Swallow

“I don't have a lot of freedom, from the guys or my role, but when I ride my bike, I'm on the verge between control and the bike controlling me. My life wavers between safety and danger, but this time the split second between triumph and disaster is in my hands. And I need more.” quote by L.J. Swallow
