Poetry Tuesday, June 30, 2009

A thick early morning marine layer is hanging just a few feet above the coast as I whip through another mile of twisting euphoria. Each consecutive series of corners comes flying at me in a rapid succession that almost seems implausible and yet it’s not. Because it’s happening right before my eyes and even though I can’t quite believe it’s real, I know it is. Driving hard out of the turn I peer ahead and as soon as I’m able to focus on the next corner, it becomes the last corner. Gone. Just like that. Consumed in a remarkably easy singular motion that only comes forth when you realize that you’re not just out riding, you’re hunting a form of ecstasy.

With my heart pounding and a trace of sweat covering my brow, I swoop from corner to corner in an effortless advance. It’s one part body steering, a touch of counter steering and a dash of sliding off the saddle. The perfect recipe for an easygoing graceful yet utterly sporty early morning adventure. The kind of exploration that allows you to do as much or as little work as you want and still enjoy the ride to exactly the same degree.

Last week we had to call one of the Bell-Aliant help desks and of course we were talking to a knowledgeable technical person in India.  (not being sarcastic, he was very good – though did not solve the problem).

Tonight, I received this image of somewhere in India:

Sales guy whispers, “better take it for a ride Bub”.

..and so I did.  There is a rumour that in third gear at 150 KPH and gentle application of more throttle will spin the back wheel.  I am sure it is just a rumour.

For those less informed, that is a 2009 Ducati Street Fighter – the latest model of the Ducati naked street machine.

ban could be delayed Friday, June 19, 2009

Poor Richard can’t figure out how to ban poison on lawns and Wes can extend VLT hours so that more lives can be destroyed.  I think this crowd is sending us a message.  

Getting P.E.I. pesticide regulations in line with the other Maritime provinces could slow down the process, says Environment Minister Richard Brown

I met Steven some years ago when he was a very bright and very nice young guy (I almost said kid).  It appears he has grown into a thoughtful young man – no surprise. 

In a world of blog noise, occasionally a gem.  This is one.

Nicely put Steve.

Good decision.  Now ask for our half-million back, please.
