whats In Store

OK so right now i am registered for the ctc welding program. For those of you that have no clue what I'm talking about ctc is a program for high school kids and basically u skip gr.12 to go get a head start on your trade. I chose welding because i have been doing a lot of it in my shop class and apparently I'm pretty good. As a welder i would have long hours of working my ass off in many weather conditions. Lucky for me rain ruins welds so i would be working under cover in snow or rain. This will be a hard job with lots of deadlines, problems and stress.... just the way i like it :). I find if I'm not under pressure, nothing gets done, so i love to have deadlines etc to keep me on track. This may seem like a crappy job but i will be making more than the fancy ass people in there shinny suits and 20 years of university. So i don't mind. One thing about welding is all the work work is in the crap holes like the oil rigs etc. so i might go get another trade that would be good for winter with steady work but i don't have to worry about that for a while. As long as it pays for my sweet bikes I'm good to go.

Why?

People often question the biker mentallity. Why would we want to take the risks? One can never understand why untill they have tried it. The feeling of flying threw the air or bouncing over rocks at ridiculous speeds is truly liberating. When you are in the zone, nothing else matters. There is always the risk of getting hurt and i adds to the expirence. If u talk to someone who mountian bikes you will notice that "safe thrills" like roller coasters ect. just dont do the trick.call me crazy but im sure any fellow riders reading this will agree.
