GOA WHEELS
I failed to reach the goal of carrying a motorcycle license in the year 2012, but I did rent a scooter for two days in Goa. Buzzing around exploring the coastal beaches, I memorized the plate number- 7582- so I could identify my scooter in crowded parking lots. Tim, a fellow traveler from Great Britain, gave excellent driving advice, which I followed meticulously. Slowing down to a crawl on gravel and sand and keeping both hands on the brakes kept me safe in a beeping mass of motion. An hour after climbing on to the scooter, the rules of the road were becoming clearer, but I still swallowed hard while learning to trust other drivers who zipped by my un-helmeted head brushing my arms with their cool tailwind.
2013 is my year for a dirt bike complete with the American license.
