After this excitement I just needed to get away and calm down so I took Chopper for his first long ride (with me, anyway.) Chopper is my new bike, see below. It's a lot different from riding Zelda-- he has gears that are manipulated with my foot and the most scary part is the foot brake. This is scary for me because I am so used to hand brakes after 31 years of riding bikes and scooters-- I just know that my panic reaction will be to grip the hand brake which has about a tenth of the stopping power of the foot. But I practiced for about an hour and I think that I am getting the hang of it. There is a 20k road leading to the school (this is why I needed a bike) that was made for a motorbike. It's full of twists and turns and the most beautiful scenery that you can imagine. Thailand was made for two wheels.
