Insanity Is The Only Reason This Motorcycle Exists.
I thought I had died. Not that any of it was agonising but I couldn’t believe what we, as an ambitious, optimistic team, had set out to perform had happened. It had become the past. It was over. The lack of a casualty, therefore, was a bit confounding. I should add that this deep into my train of thought, I was decelerating although still past 230 kph. This is not something I’m used to. This is not something many people are used to. I cannot deny how lucky I am, and this is not even in reference to the fact that I am, indeed, still alive. Now, of course, speed doesn’t kill people, mistakes do. And how wrong can you go on a motorcycle travelling in a straight line, with a squared-out rear tyre, on a strip of tarmac that qualifies as ‘ample’ even for a Boeing 737?
