27 Mar: Friday of rest
I'm in a routine of making each second day an "active" day for running, riding and so on. On the other days I work on the house, property or vehicles.
the end of cars
So today's biggy was getting the Bullet inspected for registration. As expected she flew through, but there' are always a few nerves. On the way back I was thinking "one more year of living dangerously", that is by riding a motorbike. anyway, I really enjoying the Bullet. while her grip in the gravel is not so good, on the road she is faster and as always a real character. I am actually thinking of her being a part of my next step towards "car-lite" living.Fitting a sidecar to the Bullet would open the door to selling my car. I've always wanted a sidecar. Apartfrom the quirkiness ans fun factors, i carrying tools, a dog and gear for swimming, fishing or camping and the weekly groceries would be cool. Just like a car but just for me. Joy, economical and environmentally friendly.
One thing that doesn't show on this blog is that at present the US and Israel have been running an oil war with Iran. Resulting in reduced world oil supplies and higher fuel prices. But for many its also a wake up call to pay attention to the fuel we rely on each day. In other areas, I use very little fuel beyond a little gas for
cooking, and fuel to pump water, cut wood and run power tools.I'd love to go fully bike (pedal bike), but with Mia living 400k away and needing to navigate the steepest hill in the region every time i leave the house, an engine is needed. Yes, but it could be electric?
