I’ve found putting her in an open face was the best way to keep her from headbutting me.

Hurtful

You pipe down. Stop ruining tomorrow’s story.

That’s the last fading light as they finally shut the door to the studio for the last time.

It’s a motorcycle. It’s supposed to kill you.

Bilt is shit. If you can afford a motorcycle, you can afford decent gear.
