Something to scare us – motorbikes!

It’s a chopper baby!Climbing provides a good mental challenge as well as a physical one. We’ve been looking for a new way to scare ourselves since climbing is a little tough to come by. Lisa got tired of walking 20 blocks a day in humid 90 degree temperature, and suggested we buy motorbikes. I like suffering a little more than Lisa so I was hesitant, but decided to go along with it.Learning to ride these bikes amidst city traffic has been pretty thrilling. It’s not like the US where traffic laws are obeyed most of the time. It’s more, well, lets say free flow. Bikes are expected to swerve in and out of traffic and if you don’t, you put yourself at somewhat of a liability since you not behaving on the road as you would be expected.We are getting the hang of it and I am stalling my bike less. Once we can both remember to turn off our blinkers after turning, I think we can consider ourselves masters of yet another endeavor.Lisa on her scooterOnce we tame this beast, I guess it’s time to move on and find yet another thrill.
