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

    As long as it is the bird that is a mess and the motorcyclist is all G then I guess that's not so bad... maybe a broken fairing here or there though I'd imagine..

    Anyone for a ride tonight after work?

    North shore please.
    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    I'm doing the sprint up to the tunnel. Mainly cause A) I need to brush up on my motorway skills and B) I really really want to hear my pipes go off!!!

    Ok for me it will be a 'sprint' but for others it might be a slow wander lol.

    I survived! It was awesome. Thank you Mike.

    Was boring as hell for him (I gathered from the constant stream of swearing) but gave me a really good chance to think over advice people have given me and put it to use.
