Well, the school holidays are over and I’ve never been gladder to get back to work. As noted below, the holidays have been extremely boring and I’m looking forward to school tomorrow where I can break out the guitar and do my thing.
I’m also hoping that the car will be ready. I rode past the shop today and it was parked out the front with undercoat on the offending section, so it’s looking positive.
I’ve been spending a lot of time getting the content ready for my site. The discipline required to document 34 years of motorcycling is immense and it’s taken me a long time to get it together.
Funnily enough, though, I have found it to be an intensely rewarding exercise. Making myself remember the details of all the bikes, the people, the places and the things has been very difficult, but I am so pleased that I have got it done.
And, along the way, I’ve found a whole lot more stuff that my readers might be interested in as well, and I hope to gradually publish that over the next six months or so.
We’re working on a nice design for the site at the moment so I trust you’ll be patient until that’s done. My designer is adamant that we don’t publish until the “front end” looks good, so, I’m in his hands entirely.
Oh, and I had a haircut today. In fact, I had them ALL cut (what there is there that is). Hardly an earth-shattering event except that this would be the first time in over 30 years that I have gone to a barber’s shop and paid for a haircut. My wife usually cuts it but she can’t right now, for obvious reasons. The barber charged me $15.00. $0.50 to do the cutting and $14.50 search fee.
Using the bike as your only means of transportation is do-able, but I wouldn’t want to do it for an extended period of time. All I can say is, thank goodness for Woolworth’s home delivery service.
Finally, here’s a picture I found that says a whole lot about motorcycle touring..
