40's, educated, cultured, green activist, geek, and motorcycle nut .... Into art, culture, philosophy, bikes, protesting about everything, linux computing, environmental issues, alternative fuels, minimalism, anti-consumerism, liberalism, screwing with the system and generally messing with your head. Oh, and cats.

Mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before.
So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, you know what? ... It's probably worth it.

Rossi Is Back …

Did you see Valentino Rossi today in the MotoGP? Awesome. 4 weeks after breaking his leg (the shin bone was sticking out of his skin, for christs sake) he returns to the fray, walking around on crutches, limps onto his bike and battles with Casey Stoner, finally just getting overtaken on the very last bend and finishing an amazing 4th.

Not bad for a guy with one and a half good legs. Stoner fought tooth and nail with Rossi over the last three laps, the lead changing hands about 6 times (I counted) - now Stoner has to be thinking “How good is Rossi going to be when he’s fit?”

Valentino now has 2 weeks to recover before the next race - just in time to wipe those arrogant smug smiles off the faces of Pedrosa and Lorenzo, currently leading the championship due to Rossis absence.

Rossi is making a case for himself as probably the world’s greatest ever motorcyclist. The man is just a God.
