In the beginning there was an IDEA

I find it fascinating how ideas are born. Even the most stupid ones, which you can throw back in the brain's melting pot and transform them into others, maybe less stupid. Carry on decreasing the stupidity, while keeping it interesting, until you actually come up with a good one that might change your life forever.

Of course this is a very simplistic view. I don't have a clue how I got this one, but one day it was there, in my conscience, like an alien spaceship shipwrecked on Earth. At first I was blinking at it in disbelief. Then curiosity kicked in and I started exploring it, first from a distance, then getting closer and closer.

"This is actually for real!" I thought.

The more I looked at it, the more details I was discovering, my curiosity changing slowly into amazement and then into pure joy as I realized I could actually learn to drive this thing and take off into the unknown.

Ok, ok, Sergiu, time to wake up, it's not a real spaceship, it's your bike. And the unknown you're diving in is just relative to your experience. People have traveled America in more ways than you can think of.

Some crazy guy even rode one of these not just across America, but in a World Tour!

I am fine with that.
But still...

Welcome to my spaceship and the journey I'm about to take on it!
