Italian motorcycle police in the 1950s:

That is some display.

This guy is my hero.

I’m currently reading American Borders by Carla King. The woman rides around the borders of the United States on a Ural (cool looking Russian sidecar motorcycle). I can’t get enough of books like this and it makes me want to quit my job and ride around the country for a few months. Of course, not being independently wealthy, I can’t do that. What I can do is save up my vacation time (accrued, annoying) and try for a 2 week trip next summer. Or maybe I could swing a 4 week trip with some unpaid time off in there. Either way, I’m really not good at accruing vacation days because I tend to use them one or two at a time on long weekend trips. With a specific big trip to work towards, it might be a little easier though. Hopefully.
