Introducing : Athena

Sunday, February 14, 2010 Miscellaneous , Sidekicks 0 Comments

Athena is my sidekick. She's a Kawasaki KLX150s. It wasn't love at first sight but a forced relationship. But, I grew to love her and soon named her Athena. We are fueled by determination and we crave adrenaline. We play hard and we are masochists. Getting scars are hallmarks for this sport and we love it.

Oh yes, she has A LOT of scars like : scratch marks , broken lights (you can see it in this picture) , bent handle bars, etc. And she gets mud all over everytime we go for jungle trips. What's that? Oh, that's a crazy fun sports where I always get bruises and scars here and there. It only happens to beginners like me, when I get better, I'll get less drops and scars.

I do hope I don't get a broken leg though..! Almost everyone involved in this sport has a broken leg. It's what they call the "signature for the sport"

Why the name Athena?
Athena - Greek goddess for wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour.

Might not be a smart arse, but she's definitely heroic. Getting thrown (and smacked) on the ground several times because of me is certainly painful and ''heroic".

Now that you know who Athena is, don't go : "who's this Athena!?" in my posts next time.

See ya!
