Riding Solo

A real nice write-up on some of the reason we live, breathe and love motorcycles by Nixon over at FTW100.

Riding Solo
 
"Most people don't get it, can't justify the risk of doing it. I can't justify the risk of not doing it. Others think they get it, they try it, some even pretend really hard - but they don't end up sticking around. A small few really get it. Sometimes all it takes is a glance to recognize a kindred spirit or a shared soul across a crowded room; the mutual feeling of being born a few hundred years too late, or perhaps too early. Some people do it to fit in, we do it because we've never fit in."

Double-take

So as I was riding to work this morning, and while going down Parramatta Rd., I see this guy with a custom number plate on his SUV, bright purple with the text "ARYANS". I do a double-take at the balls on this guy, and as I'm riding past, I check out the driver and he's some middle-aged, IT-manager looking straight-outta-India dude- dark as the night. WTF?
