    A cultural experience

    Last night we were invited to Zukin's abode to partake of pizza and beer and meet his house guests, Anya and Holgar from Germany, Jan and Helga from Norway, and Christian from France.

    We talked bikes, movies, travels, comedy, icecreams, family, shit, bikes, another beer, chocalate mousse, canoodling, more bikes and more shit...but don't mention the war!

    We all had a great time, the mix of accents was amazing, especially when some of us tried to converse in French or German!
    Here we are, from all over the world, with vastly different backgrounds, experiences and cultures, brought together by the humble motorcycle. Who would have thought that bikes could break down barriers?

    All warmongering pollies should be made to ride bikes in foreign lands...then we might achieve something akin to world peace.

    Thanks Scott and Carissa for an awesome evening.
    If you folk out in kb land come across our foreign friends, offer them your hospitality, you will be richly rewarded.

    Good luck to our travellers as they head south today
    Ride safe!

    Doesn't matter what country I've been in - I've been able to have a conversation with some one on a motorbike, even when in Russia and neither of us spoke the other ones language - but we got the idea.

    It means different things in different languages, which is why the subject was so funny....
    As to what sort of party...perhaps it was all about oral sex.? Since we just talked about 'it'....
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    It is indeed very easy to have wonderful conversations about peace and motorcycles, when someone else does all the fighting and dying for you. Living on a remote island helps too.
    "People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    "Neutral"? Is that a polite way of saying "fucking useless"?
