    Hey Jim, Kim, Dan, Steve, C-St :D Heheh.

    DBear, I LOVED that contrast down there, quiet, then one block down, you come boiling out of the street into the fray and back across town to the Lincoln. I love riding in NYC.

    I see Mark has arrived...rockin'

    :D :wave

    Checking in from London....thinking a million thoughts....all sorts of things when I travel and ride...

    First, fitting in. It's something important to me,...

    Other things roll in my brain and are almost always related to the legacy I'm leaving, people I love, past and present...where those holes are in your life and learning not to dwell on them...embracing the blessings you have, loving them.

    I think the nice thing about ride reports is if you don't feel like reading the author's reflective drivel then you can just skip to the pictures. :D

    Soon pix....sooner connecting flights. Already lost one thing, I left my dog tags in the tray coming through security here in London. Silly really, why did I even have them? Dudders.

    Really glad for this trip, some guilt, some of my friends think it's selfish, well, one--but I can handle that--now if one person calls you a jackass, blow it off--but two? Get a saddle. I think we're all here because we look at it differently--say yes, take a chance, be open to possibilities.

    I am used to taking care of details, doing the legwork--it takes some effort to relax and accept the hospitality I'm being offered. Looking forward to meeting friends.

    I totally understand as I went through the same thing as I sat on the plane for 23 hours to get to India. It is a reflective time for sure!

    Here, arrived last night and am currently enjoying the hospitality of Casa D'Chandlerjeet :D

    I think he's sleeping in the next room, just hanging out today getting bikes ready. I feel damn good, did my sleeping right up front on the plane and then stayed awake (mostly) so I could fall asleep when I got here.

    Still Mark and I were up yakkity yak and "slept in" until about 7:30.

    First impressions of Delhi at night: It really felt familiar. Noises, the air, the traffic, at least 2 Toyotas I'd never heard of before. :lol2

    I can't wait to meet Ida Sophie :D I brought her something my girls made...can't wait. As soon as I showed Georgi and Sam her picture, they made these...hold on a sec...
