It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Re: The Motorcycle Challenge
I'm sure Mr Warner was a fine chap and I'm sorry he died, but the film was about Burt Monro, a New Zealander, who died over 30 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Munro

This guy has no limits when he hears of a window that needs cleaning. If the bike snaps it might be worth taking the shuttle back.
