…and I *will* be gone when the morning comes. Heck yeah - because it’ll be day 2 of my motorbike riding class. I wondered if I’d spaz out and be unable to pull corners, but it turns out I can actually make the thing turn, at speed. It’s fun! Everybody keeps telling me things like “ooh, be careful, my friend crashed head on into a semi while pulling a wheelie at 90mph, and broke his leg,” but I already know all that. The truth is that I saw a) The Motorcycle Diaries and b) Long Way Round / Long Way Down, and was inspired… what a great way to travel some real distance! I’m leaning towards buying a dual sport (like the one in the icon) so that I can do some offroading, as well as on - maybe I can conquer (ha! too much KDE, almost wrote konquer) the Darién Gap once I get really good at it. Tip to tip, here I come.
