Inspiration

26. Май [месяц] 2008 | en

But then a little inspiration can also lead to despair. :-P

So this weekend despite me really hoping I would be the one driving Betty, I was again regulated to pillion position and forced to observe from the back. For anyone who drives, and then is forced to sit on back (let alone on your own bike), you know the feeling. It sucks. (I am not going to bother prettying that up). We get an update on the paperwork situation tonight, wish me luck.

The weekend itself however was fantastic. Not in a drunk party way, it was actually really low key, even for a motorcycle travelers meeting (who despite people’s beliefs to the contrary – are a relatively calm bunch. Unless you meet in Denmark. I don’t know what it is about Denmark, but the stories that come out of that country about motorcycle meetings makes me conflicted as to wither I need to plan my year to make it there, or to make sure Im no where near there by accident). And yes, these things can happen by accident. I once ended up at a Christian motorcycle meeting by accident. Which was not what I was expecting when I found out what it was, though there was a baptism where the cross was fashioned from motorcycle chains. Other than morning mass it did not differ from any other meetings, with a band and copious amounts of beer in the evening.

The Horizons meetings however usually do not have bands, though they do have ride outs, but what is the real attraction is that everyone there either has traveled or wants to travel with their bike.

Even better they want to talk about their trips, and they usually have slide shows and presentations. So you get to pick their brains, and the end result is always the same, its not as dangerous as the rest of the world says it is or will. A German woman shorter than me rode from Germany, through Iran and straight on to India before flying her bike to Thailand and Japan. Alone. yes she said she respected the local dress and covered up, but as soon as she did she became a respected guest and they were happy she was traveling through the country despite the media’s representations of them.

But it also has me itching to hit the road again. We have the tentative date set as July 8th, as soon as we talk to my instructor and I have my written test set, then I will talk to work.

Until then I will keep popping coins in my travel jar. ;-)
