Henrik..most impressive. Have you ever started eating something and had to spit it out?
I am so envious of people who can make good no matter the circumstances, particularly when motorcycle traveling. One of my best friends, though not a motorcyclist( but a great hunting buddy) , but the first person I rode my motorcycle to visit 3 weeks after retiring, is one of those unflappable people. We are like the odd couple. His wife says we get along so well because he ever the optimist, is always sure that nothing will go wrong, even if it sometimes does, while I am ever the pessimist, sure that something is going to go wrong, even if it rarely does. We have gotten each other into some situations that looked very foreboding at the time, as I would have predicted, but we always managed to come out ok, as he would have expected.
He would make a great adventure motorcyclist, if I could only convince him to try riding a motorcycle. Me on the other hand, not so much.
Reading some more Egan and Salvadori today. It's a good day for it.
