Dare to Dream

.

So I've been hit with some extremely bad news. The guy who was going to ship my bike for me can't do it anymore. So my $300 shipping bill looks like it's going to jump to $1700. After all this hard work I've done there is a good chance that I'm not going to be able to take my trip. I'm so effin depressed I could cry. All the time, sweat, and money for nothing. I'll never know what it feels like to be broken down in Bratislava. I'll never know what unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell tastes like out of a wooden keg. I won't get to surprise the entire village of Jadrtovac as I cruise into town on my Canada bike with 24 liters of Karlovacko Pivo (beer) strapped to the back seat.

This is a cruel joke. If this were an 80's movie we would have a bad guy challenging me to a race and everyone would come over and help finish the bike, and someone would be a rat and tell the bad guy what we were doing, and then we would show up at the race and they would try to disqualify us, and then Chuck Norris would kick the judges ass and we would be allowed to race, but the stakes would be raised to include my dying aunts corner store, and then we would lose the race, and the store, but someone would have sold the rights to the movie and made us twice as much money as the store was worth.

Unfortunately, I don't have a dying aunt and Chuck Norris is getting too old to kick anyone's ass. I guess I'll just finish the bike and try not to dream.

You have to be shitting me! Buddy, shop around a little for different prices. If they're all high (the prices I mean not just the people giving them to you), ship the bike anyway. This is going to be a once in a lifetime trip, don't let it slip away! You've worked too hard to let it go by now. Oh by the way, I just felt the same gas pinch you're going through. I just bought a Sequoia from Texas and my shipping jumped from 900 to 1800. Shopped around and found a price for 1475 and then discovered that if you pay cash they'll lower the price- paid 1250. Shop around Big E.
