"Blimey Steve you flew up the hill". "Yes", he said, "I had to because as I dropped the clutch I came out of the saddle and then landed back on my bollocks so that I had to get to the top to relieve the pain!"
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
To be honest after getting 3/4's of the way through this book I think while Steve was obviously cool, he also was a d!ck. The way he treated his wife was pretty sad.
