the hot seat...


it is an absolute annoyance to be down with the flu bug. however, there is little to be done once the flu bug infiltrates the household. when it does, the only predictable outcome after would be to see everyone going down just like flies getting a fat hard swat and going splat against the wall.

nevertheless, that does not quite stop life from going on. on the contrary, took up a pretty cool assignment at this bike festival that was supposed to showcase a whole collection of bikes. the best part, was being able to plonk my fat ass on the seats without having to worry that someone will point an accusing finger at me for running off with their precious. from really hot ducatis, to the super cool scrambler, to the charming classic harley davidson, yes, it was a sweet experience being in the hot seat.

the highlight of the day??? getting the opportunity to go up on the stunt bike for the wheelie and stoppie, despite looking like complete crap due to the germs bugging my system. pity the other girls were too afraid to go up. one of the girls who had to do the second round went as white as a sheet and had hands so clammy we thought she was about to pass out when she got off the bike.

all in a day's work??? quite, considering one gets paid for it. not too bad when one takes into account that it is an experience of a lifetime, especially if the riders do not take any tom, dick or harry up on their bikes.

makes me want to get that bike license and my own ride. goddamnit.
