That is the wrong me - believe it!
I did a search a while back for my name and found a site in French which talked about a guy in the early 40s with the exact same name as me.
Turns out this bloke was a leader in the french resistance and a jew as well, which made him particularly unpopular with the occupying german army. Anyway, he was publicly executed for his crimes.
Incidentally, my last name, for those of you who don't know it already, means (you'll love this one Zed) God's Love in German.
My family on my father's side escaped Latvia and trapsed across Europe finally arriving in London around the turn of last century, where they found passage to New Zealand. My great, great-grandfather, Wolfe Gottlieb, did not know how to write or spell, so the immigration official wrote his name for the family on the papers they were issued, and spelt it wrong, and that is how all of my relation in this country have only the one "t" in their name.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
