    This is the smartest advice that I hate the most! These people need to have their head straightened and unfortunately, turning them off to you won't help that situation. However, given the many injuries and much damage I have suffered (and never bothered dealing with the authorities), controlling the rage is the hardest thing to do...

    I know, life is such a fukkin shit isn't it? And it is getting sooo expensive too. Oh well we all should grow up sometime. You could always ride around downtown Washington or Tottenham London, Glasgow Scotland and many, many so-called civilised western cities on a pimped-up cruiser and see how long you last. Did you need a larger arsehole? Cheaper than plastic surgery but difficult to remove the muffler unless you have a friend with you.

    That photo was taken in the new town area of LiJiang, Yunnan in December 2005. What you don't see is the policeman who was running towards us because I rode up into the pedestrian square to be able to get this snapshot. It was my first trip to China and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. We got out of there just before getting apprehended.

    Cheers,
