A REAL motorcycle! (Email to Parents)


(picture - our bike in the doorway of the garage!)

6:05am MONDAY your time….(3:30pm, Monday, my time)
I’m writing to let you know we still can’t get on email….or internet at all- not sure why…other than it's Asia!

Anyway, if you don’t call before we get online, I’ll let you know we got another bike. It’s a “pukka” (real) bike…gears, clutch, etc…. It’s really great I went dirtbiking, because it is so much more similar to operating. Had I not gone dirtbiking, I am not sure I would feel as comfortable as I do---oh, we did kind-of hit someone on the way home. Our mirror hit theirs….we didn’t stop- not sure what to do in that situation....all well…..

Oh, and Daddy- I copied an article about our bike…it was rated #1 out of about 50 bikes…for being the best bike….I had the guy copy the article and I’ll send it to you. I think you’ll like reading about it.

I can’t believe we own a motorcycle….my goodness….so strange….I thought owning a scooter was odd…but a motorbike? And, especially since women don’t really drive them here….another advantage being a foreigner does for us. We can get away with that kind of thing!

Anyway…thank you for your prayers- please keep praying for safety especially as I learn more how it works!!!!!!!

Oh. I just found out that we don’t have any water. Or rather, we have some in our tanks, but they are really low….hmm. We have phone, but no water, no internet. I guess everything can’t work at the same time. That would expecting too much, or at least we can’t have it all at the same time for one complete day. They forgot to put that in the fine print on the registration form when I signed up for this! But then again, I believe I would still have come, even if I knew all these things. Who needs water anyway? We got a bike, what more do we need? Haha….oh goodness….can’t you wait to come here and visit me???? :)
