.........

I'm debating just how much I'm going to share with you dogs about my personal demons in this RR. Part of me wants to pour my heart out in this report, no holds barred, no stone left unturned. Part of me just wants to keep it lite and airy. Why? I know I'm not alone in what I deal with everyday of my life, especially as an American male. Actually, no, I'm wrong, I shouldn't say as an American male. Regardless of where we Wilddogs call home on this big rock, I believe we all live with the debilitating and endless emotions and or instincts that we MUST provide for, be patient with, and protect our loved ones, at all costs, regardless of consequences, all while being stoic, because if we start to complain or show any sadness, well, here anyway, you'll be labeled weak, a pussy, crybaby, best friends will kick you while you're down to make you tougher. Those are the kind of friends I need less of. I do have friends I can be vulnerable with and they only encourage and help. I do the same for them.

Talking about our demons and mental illness is still extremely taboo in our country. Well, I'm done living my life with pent up rage and issues. Life is survival dealing with the Human Condition we see everyday. If I decide to tell all, it will be because it is such a liberating experience and I hope others suffering issues will find it easier to discuss their issues with friends and loved ones because if that dumbass big oil can do it, so can I.

welcome back meneer!

we've had our fights and gotten each banned a couple of times

share whatever you're comfortable with, demons are nasty things to live with on your own and you are not the only one

Enjoying your thread and humour so far - GOOI!

PS: I do own a 2015 1290 (LOVE it!) and have had bikes all my life, just not big on writing ride reports - call me a lazy fuck

. Oh my, can it be, my old arch nemesis, Bundu

Glad to hear from ya, let us be better this time.

Yes, your 1290 SA Touring, nice bike, please don't be mad at me, I knew you had the bike.

I don't want you to be mad how I confirmed you rode motorcycles. I was naughty.

Thanks for following my report

Nothing starts a fire in an American girls panties faster than a ZA accent. I'd encourage you DO NOT tell the wife of this, she'll never let you come over!
ain't that the truth
but I heard on the radio the other day that the Aussies are taking over from us now. maybe it's something to do with their propensity for sheep

Well, apparently the Aussies invented the condom, by using a sheep's colon. The Americans, though, improved on the design by taking it out of the sheep first.

This is going to be one epic RR, thanks for sharing and all the best with your battles.

Doesn't matter how hard arsed the guys here are, somewhere deep down (some very deep) we're all the same, whether you like it or not.

Push comes to shove, everyone will help out or give a shoulder to lean on.

The USA is definitely high on my dream travel list as well. I'd like to tag my family along and cross it with a van

But well done big oil for opening up about your afflictions. Things we don't often speak of like the chronic eczema that plagues me in the same region.
It's a pain in the arse living with a PITA!

Looking forward to being envious/jealous/soppies (afrikaans word meaning sadly disgruntled...) with the RR..
