I thought mostly about safety, and I did not try many things. On this day the sky was grey, but I went out anyway on Nittaya, my red 1995 Honda Dream. She was made in the same year I was born. The road up Doi Insi is very steep. I was not sure she could climb it. Then heavy rain came, and half of me wanted to turn back. The other half said: try it, just once in your life. At the top, I saw rain clouds moving over the valley, and I thought: this is what life is. I am sharing this ride on my birthday, 28 September, as a small gift to everyone who watches. The ride: There is no talking in this video. You will hear the engine, the rain, and music. The short story is written on the screen at the start.
