Lose your prejudices: some motorcyclists
are better than the car drivers!
I am still getting about with my bus pass
and have had some interesting combinations by simply doing the “I’ll take the
first bus that pulls up” or “This direction all the way to the end”, etc.
Letting happenstance choose for me.
Today was more of the same. Decided to take
the bus to the next village for breakfast as our village store is shut, then as
the bus to town was before the bus home went to the large flea market looking
for keys for my bedroom cupboard.
Home for lunch the in the afternoon needed
to get the mail (a short 12-minute walk up the hill) but being lazy at that
point decided to do the two-bus routine: mine to the next village down and the
other to my village on the upper route. It just so turned out that the timing
was perfect to stop for coffee at McDonald’s on the upper road and get a roll
at the neighboring bakery for tomorrow’s breakfast.
Imagine my surprise as I rounded the trucks
at the flour factory so see six beautifully kept motorcycles lined up in one
parking space! I was so impressed by the lovely job of parking that after I got
my coffee I looked around to see who they might be. Imagine, 6 young adult men,
conservatively dressed, clean shaven and with their helmets all neatly aligned
on the back shelf, enjoying talking together whilst taking a break. Not exactly
what one usually thinks when one sees a group of motorcycles. But then again their
parking exhibition was exceptional and spoke for them.
I got their permission to take pictures.
This is Swiss precision.
