Subbie -- It's a complete outfit. Lookit:
The bag is to put over your head so nobody can see you.
2 wheels with a motor attached have never been attractive to me. Maybe a smaller boat?
I discovered on my motorcycle that exhilaration is brown in color.

The west view of the house we finished February 1998, clearing the driveway and such starting July 1997. Paid for a number of years ago.
South view, looking over the then-main veggie garden, which has grown since then in number of raised beds, and the 7-ft.-tall (anti-)moose fence was finished years ago, as well.
R-32 walls on the top 2 floors, R-42 walls in the daylight basement, triple-pane windows, and a nearly air-tight vapor barrier.. FLIR was not a friend back then.. especially back then... R-58/R-60 ceiling, with arctic scissor trusses and no plywood underlayment under the metal on the roof; instead, a LOT of 2" material for strapping and extra bracing to prevent racking.
The older smaller main veggie garden. Viewed from up on the main deck, off the master bedroom.

I went over to the Yukon Territory and 'borrowed' a carpenter friend's tools.. More or less all of them... and he followed me up with his truck and snacks a couple weeks or less later.
US Customs would have stopped him dead in his tracks if he'd brought all of his tools with him with no work papers, but for me to borrow them from a friend... Well, that was a whole 'nother story.
He did us amazing favors, and the price, in the end, was something that could've been wrapped in gold... A long-time valuable friend, indeed.
Lots of changes to the property and gardens since these pics were taken.

Thanks. Heart and soul stuff.
Almost cost me my marriage.
I get serious when I'm dealing with suppliers, especially when they fall down. Not good company when that's going on.
Went back a couple years later and apologized to one who'd gone through some hard times after we built, him losing a child in a tragic accident. Saw him in the grocery store and recalled chewing his ass out in front of his co-workers. Definitely owed him an apology.
60% of couples who act as their own general contractors divorce within the first year after completion. At least back then that was the case..

Having been PTSD since WAY back, I was ready-made for all sorts of stuff, including motorcycling across the Continent.
One tactic I used, and have since shared with my 3 adult children, is to look at the highway/horizon ahead. Take into account each and every vehicle, obstacle and blind spot you can see, and ask yourself what's the most ignorant, life-endangering thing someone can do in that scenery. Then be ready when one of them obliges you. The frequency of such occurrences was startling.
Hyper-vigilance has a place, and especially on a motorcycle.
