There are a number of ways to describe the unbelievable, liberating, exhilarating feeling of whizzing down a Thai highway on a motorbike.  For me, I believe the best word is “unstable.”  Nonetheless, purchased a bright red motorbike today for $650.  The included neon yellow helmet, along with a Chinese character anagrammed on the side, gives a somewhat jingoistic Chinese vibe.  Although Megan and I are identical in our outfitting, I suspect this impression is stronger in my case.  I believe the character says,” thunder,” but could well be “storm,” “fog,” or any number of similar weather words.  Either way, I believe the casual observer will not fail to recognize the implicit message- “fog” read “BADASS.”
