With all of the new developments in my taste for doctors, I imagine that it's possible for some of you to think that my love for one doctor has been usurped by my recent affection for another. Not so. I'll explain. Over the last year or so, my interest in two-wheeled motor vehicles has been exponentially increased, mostly due to the fact that Hugh Laurie rides a very particular motorcycle on House. It's also become a trend for me, while driving, to comb the passing lanes of traffic for any bike that remotely resembles the Honda CBR 1000RR. (I do so while safely and obligingly observing all other posted traffic laws, of course.) Until now, I'd seen a lot of bikes with the same build and design, but none that were exact copies of House's bike.
UNTIL TODAY.
Driving home, I happened to glance in another lane and -- lo and bloody behold -- saw THE BIKE.
THIS BIKE:
Just as god and paint scheme intended.
The rider was even wearing a leather jacket. A LEATHER JACKET IN JULY. Even though the humidity had probably kindly elbowed him this morning, as if to say "Hey, you might want to consider a lightweight traveling coat today, if anything at all."
Unfortunately, Mr. Laurie was woefully unattached to said chassis. But it nevertheless had the effect of making my entire afternoon.
And, just like that, my faith in Fate's great design for me was restored.
