Wow you got jibbed... I started working when I was 12 on $7.19/hour at an independent cafe. Had $2k by the time I was 15 and nothing to spend it on. Those were the days.
I have been dreaming of getting a real car out on those roads for a while now and am happy to share the experience with anyone who will enjoy it. As long as they don't watch me while I sleep
I did 1 month in the US for the MotoGP in Laguna Seca and Indianapolis. It went: LA-Laguna Seca-San Francisco-Hamptons-NYC-NJ-Austin Texas-Indianapolis.
Highlights: Scored an incredible $10,000/night 3 story penthouse apartment in NYC by accident for the standard price of course, met Alex Craville-MotoGP World Champ, and Austin. Austin was a highlight in itself, I would rate it one of the best cities in the US, not 'texas' at all. Go there if you can, it has the best music and bar scene, very chilled out.
Then from there 1 month in Europe for my birthday as by chance 3 of my sisters were there: Country France, Paris, Amsterdam and London.
I went back just recently and visited Spain (Valencia and Barcelona) and Milano for the GP and Moto Show for work purposes. Spain is absolutely awesome. Had done Switzerland, Andorra and a few of those previously mentioned countries last year and they were great as well. Can't get enough of driving through those Alps.
Europe does have a lot more culture, but I found the people in America quite friendly and entertaining. Hopefully will get back to one or both next year.
Well you have very good taste in shoes... But you do realise the purpose of the photo was the light cycle part right? .
