Speechless, confused, indecisive...

... which is a description of me. No, I haven't been drinking. Against all odds, and owing to a new found tenacity in the face of the beaurocratic machine, I have gained entitlement to ride for another 30 days! I am amazed and now I don't know where to go next.

I was packed and ready to leave Philadelphia. It decided to rain the biggest, splashiest, fleshiest, ripest rain drops I have ever seen. Despite this and the immense humidity (two hurricanes are on their way up the coast) I decided to find the other Auto Tags place to see what they would say. By now I have been told 4 times by different offices in the state of Pennsylvania that it is not possible to extend my temp tag. I know that I am fully legal, well trained, and most importantly insured, I just needed to find someone who would put these things above the beaurocracy that manifests itself when they see the bike is from Michigan. A technicality which British bureacracy would see fit to overlook, since the real concerns (insurance) are clearly well met and above board. Well, I found someone who was able to do just this, and totally legally.

So I have headed to NYC as planned, but of course I am not shipping the bike Friday. The world is my oyster, or rather the East coast is my lobster...
