Sitting here thinnking about how to right the wrongs of the world, and it occurred to me, that no matter who you are, what you do, where you live, how you go about your life, if you have the one constant of motorcycles in your life things are better. I am always amazed, I have friends all over the world, some don't understand me, I have no idea what they are saying ( thank goodness for Google translate), but we all seem to live our lives in the same way. Meetings with your motorcycling buddies, rides with them, dinners out, longer rides planned, no matter what the constant vibe in our lives is motorcycles and everything that that entails are there and an intrinsic part pf our lives. So perhaps we should vote motorcyclists into power and calm the world the fuck down. Imagine if the Americans want to invade Venezuela, and we got the marines to ride down, do a tour, and we got the Venezuela army to ride up to meet them. Imagine the size of the rally they would have by the time they got to meet. Everyone would be telling bullshit stories of  their deeds on the ride. The bonfires would run deep into the night, the beer would flow, and after two or three days everyone would be full of self satisfied smugness about doing 'the ride', that they wouldn't need to have wars or conflict. It's silly I know, but it's true, you wave to that unknown rider going the other way, you nod your head at other people who have helmets in their hands, or on the floor beside the cafe table, we are a part of a global family, thank goodness for that.


My new toy, for now, really enjoying the bike, but it does need work for me to fit it. First issue rear tyre wider then seat, wet back and bum, not good.

And now it looks likes this.
