  1. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but
    rather to wheelie-drop in, thoroughly used up, totally worn
    out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW--What a Ride!

    We have kind of a arallel to that in the boat design world.
    One of the most famous designers ever, LF Herreshoff, once
    said that the perfectly designed boat, structurally
    speaking, would survive all it was designed to do, and if
    conditions ever exceeded the limits, every part of it would
    simultaneously disintegrate. That's how I want to go ;-)

    Medical opinion dictates that for death to occur there's
    normally something seriously wrong 🙂

    How about some kind of Viking-like, burning bike off a cliff
