when i put my 45-year-old, fully-tattooed ass on my girlfriend's black jawa 210 economy w/ the funky crayola graphics and wald folding baskets, do 30 in the right lane of a 40 mile-an-hour road, it definitely defines who i am.
just like when i ride one of my bicycles, my motorcycle, my VW vanagon, my girlfriend's diesel mercedes-benz, or whatever. it defines who i am.
but only to other people who think that i am my vehicle, my tattoos, my hairstyle, my clothes, etc.
it's all bullshit. i'm the same mo-fo on the inside regardless of what i got goin' on the outside.
it's important for me to remember this.
i say just ride yer 'ped, or whatever mode of transportation you choose to take that day, and have yerself a good time!
