Further thinking..

You know, after organising tomorrow with kissycat1000 it occured to me I was going to get to ride my bike again. This made me feel happy :) I quite seriously reckon half of my problem at the moment is I haven't had my bike around to ride. I realised I'd slipped and forgotten that there was this whole other exciting side of my life which involved taking my life into my hands every time I sat upon that dangerous machine. There's nothing quite as powerful as getting on the bike and surviving until the end of the journey to tell the tale. It makes travelling an adventure rather than a chore. The question is; which is preferable. I know the answer varies depending on my mood.

For someone like me who has a very well developed sense of personal safety it is a massive rush to ride :) Hmm, but sometimes I question my sense. A topic for another post perhaps.

are you nuts, you own a motorbike and yet you still seem to have four wheel under your arse when you do most of your travelling, I think I would endure all the downsides of long distance commuting just to tear-arse along on the rear wheel of a monster, and knowing that I am imortal doesn't make it less fun.

However if I had to do this twice a day everyday for the forseeable future it may be nice to have a car on standby, but I wouldnt want it the other way round.

You need to read "Ghost Rider (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1550225480/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/026-3328878-0668424)" which is all about a guy overcoming personal tragedy and depression by riding his bike!!

I've read it twice already and I don't even ride!!!....

Ride the Bike!

It's the closest thing to teleportation I've tried...absolutely sublime way to fly
