    hmmmm!!....
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    If no stones get into the belt, it will be sweet as.

    If a stone gets into your belt (on any road), if you don't catch it quick smart, it will wear a hole through the belt, and while some might last some time, you're effectively running on borrowed time.

    Last time through that road, got to Murapara and found a couple of screws has dropped out of the fairings. Something most riders wouldn't think of checking after a long run on badly corrogated gravel. The road was bloody rough that particular trip.

    If you break down along there, do NOT wander off the road. Stick to the road and someone will turn up eventually. They are very protective of their crops through there, so stick to the road, and if you hear whistles in the mist, ride like fuck.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
