(no subject)
I enjoy going fast. It is the closest thing to adventure I've yet to be able to experience (besides those adventures that you have at random intervals in your childhood - and living isolated on 26 acres, I had many of those as a child - and rarer as you get older) is speed. Ing. Speeding.
Why? Because it elicits the same deep feeling that adventure does. That feeling of being on the very edge of your own disaster. If you aren't quick enough, strong enough, skilled enough that one small instant...
I don't really mean in a car. It detracts being in a car. Why? Because in a car there are usually other people, and then you can't just throw your own safety to the wind (my favorite part of the game), I (or you too, hopefully) must remember the safety of your passengers and keep that in mind. Also, wrecking a car, should you prove insufficient for the challenge, is more likely to take the life of another especially if you (stupidly) choose to speed to the crazy heights that I enjoy (I mean really, really fast...like...+3x the speed limit) in heavily trafficked areas.
No, the way to go is a motorcycle. Just you, your speed, your skill, and the road. It is the edge of it all. You have to be completely focused. All that matters is the moment. This one microsecond. Everything else is just a blur that doesn't, that can't warrant your attention. There is no feeling quite like desperately hanging on for your own life. Especially when you don't care very much. When you can throw everything...absolutely everthing to the wind, and then you are FORCED to live for the moment...oooh. I love it. Sweet surrender.
Mmmm....
I'm looking the Ducati 999R and the MV Agusta F4 1000 MT Tamburini...and everyone likes Ducatis. Mmm. I still want my WWII bike w/sidecar as well. Mmmmmm....
By the way...Mr. Wilson, if you read this...is this the Noble you were talking about?
