- Bomb Texas for freedom -

Ok, fine there is actual sort of news in the heart ‘o’ darkness stuff.

The actual destination hasn’t been determined yet.  To be honest I don’t think there will be one.  I mapped out a path and it’s an oval.  Sooo…  I’m still working on that.

On that note, I picked up some books.  Most notably Road Trip USA (too lazy to link, look it up) I’m finding that I’m less interested in the road side attractions, than the road itself.  I mean there is some definate things I want to see, but it’s like how I went to Ireland.  I would rather choose a path and let the force take me where it will.

Although it is rather funny, google maps has no maps of mexico.  I was definately thinking of there.

Finally I found my scooter shop, Brooklyn Bretta, I took a day off and decided to check it out.  It was cool but when I told the owner what I was planning to do he stopped, looked at me and said “Just like Fuckin’ Kerouac man!”

I knew this place was key for this mission at hand.

When I told the GF this she sort of stopped in her tracks, blinked and I know (although she’ll deny it) in her head she said “Oh bloody hell, that man signed mylo’s death warrant”
I’m still have to find my steed, my PBR Streetgang, my HMS Endevour, my Apollo 11.  I’m down to about 5 models.

The top 3 are…

1. Genuine Scooters, Stella
• She has enough power, made of solid steel, and it has been done before on one.  She also has the right price point, and there are plenty used.  If not used she’s coming back new really soon anyway.
2. Vespa et4, or LX 150
• Enough power, also made out of steel.  But really expensive.  It’s possible to find one used, but it will be harder.
3. Finally Genuine Scooters , The Buddy 125
• Peace scooter is using this model, so I’m going to have to see her results.  It’s plastic, and the engine isn’t as powerful.  But there has been talk of the Buddy beating out the LX 150’s in races.  Advantages of this model it’s cheap, and has a really good service plan.

Also I’m still making the timeline up, as it stands September is when I get the MC license, Jan (hopefully) is when I purchase my scooter.  October is when the official Heart ‘o’ Darkness page will be up, and with luck I’ll have google ads, and a paypal thing for donations.

Of course yet again, tentative.  There is a number of things ready to stop this already so we’ll have to see.
