Motorcycles and Ferries

Planning a trip to Victoria. Its a city in Canada. On an island. Who knew? And not just any island. There's not even bridges to it. Its an island island. Perfect opportunity for flying right? I wish. Our wonderful countries lame ass security b.s. prevents you from just hopping on a plane and flying over the border. In fact, if you tried that, you would probably be intercepted. Literally, and by two jet fighters. I don't know how they can fly as slow as a Cessna but thats the kind of thing I plan not to find out by trial and error. Getting intercepted does sound fun and exciting but on the single condition that it happens to someone else. In a week or two I'm going to something with the word "seminar" in it at my flying club, where presumably they will teach us how to do all the paperwork for "canadian ops." Where to sign, how to bend over for homeland security, etc.

So instead we are driving and taking ferries. The ferry site mentions people taking motorcycles on ferries. How awesome is that? That is so awesome. I must have a motorcycle. I'm going to take it on ferries. Picture a ferry docking, and the big doors opening, and there must be a ramp, and then a black kawasaki ninja 600 roars off the ramp before its lowered, flying through the air like 20 feet above the ground and then landing on the road in such a way that mysteriously doesn't crack the frame or pop the tires. That will be me. Also there will be a hot girl on the back. And since this is a fantasy, lets add bacon. Everywhere.

You know what would be cool? An anphibious motorcycle. It just turns into a jet ski. Thats what I need, actually.

  1. Wouldn't an amphibious motorcycle be the two wheeled equivalent of a duck boat? I would think you would be opposed to that sort of thing.

  2. I love amphibious vehicles. What I hate, is jackasses who drive while blaring dumb music and facing backwards at the passengers they are feeding their lame jokes to while playing bumper cars in city traffic...jackasses who then claim it is always the driver of the parked car that doesnt see the enourmous white tank rolling down the street. I hope that place burns down and becomes an abortion clinic for baby duck boats.
