TheSpade said:Boozing might be half of your trip but it won't be mines. I don't really booze much anymore, I don't enjoy getting drunk and I hate being hungover so much that I plan to never ever be hungover again. I can do without waking up feeling like shit when theres loads of stuff to be seeing and doing.![]()
Do it - read 'Jupiter's Travels', if you haven't already - when my life blew apart, one of the options I seriously considered was to get my bike licence (sp? stoned!) and just disappear into the distance - why the fuck not - and you've the advantage of being a biker, instead of a wannabe like me!!!? What's keeping you in Aberdeenshire, for fuck's sake - and that's no disrespect to Aberdeenshirefelix said:i don't think i could be fucked with backpacking. unless you could hire a motorbike and hand it back at the end.![]()

Why hire, when you could buy and sell? And, for example, if you can't be arsed with overland to India, fly to Delhi and buy an Enfield - anyone can keep one of those running with a knife'n'fork - have you been to India, Felix? If not, do it as soon as you can %)

spade - don't become one of those fannies that has to rely on lifts from people all the fucking time. at least promise you'll get it done soon.TheSpade said:I had a couple of lessons, I was shit and have no dedication so I gave up. I didn't have the money to be funding all these driving lessons and even if I had all the lessons and passed how would I afford to buy and run a car?
I've never really needed a motor. Dundee is quite small so public transport is fine and in Edinburgh everything is in walking distance of my flat and again very good transport. Better things to spend my money on now.![]()
