Having less time at the moment I post less but I try to stick to at least one post per week.
Who today knows the Golem? In fact I realized that not many people know him. I discovered it by chance in a game about 20 years ago. It has nothing to do with this man who rides a motorbike, but when I passed by his stand and saw him cracked with dirt from top to bottom I wanted to take the picture. He does not need to go to the beautician to do a scrub and a mud bath apparently he does it every weekend its cost him less hahaha.
Coming back to our Golem {an artificial being, generally humanoid, made of clay, incapable of speech and devoid of free will, fashioned to assist or defend its creator In one of the most popular versions of his legend , he is born out of clay after four wise men, representing the four elements, have provided his shapeless matter with their attributes; on his forehead is the word emet (אמת, "truth") which becomes, when its first letter is erased, put (מת, "death"), causing the artificial man to return to dust. WIKI The legend of the golem has inspired many writers over the years, and the creature has been used in many fantastic works with varying degrees of fidelity to the original legend. While some works clearly refer to the Jewish creature, most medieval-fantastic works use the word golem to refer to any humanoid creature created from inert matter by a magician. The word golem is no longer always used to describe these creatures. We often talk about "elementals" (creature made of an element) or simply names invented by the author. Nevertheless, we still recognize the notion of a man-made servant, which refers to the original legend.}
If I was a bit more watching I would tell him to go wash his teeth but well that is only my business.
He did not even try for a second to wipe the dirt off his face. To give you the context, we are on cross country terrain in Germany and this gentleman from what I have translated is a South African expatriate in Germany for 5 years. Today 8 years later he must have returned home to Pretoria.
He seems to be happy, did he have the idea at the time in the state he was in?
Another motorcyclist who passes on the passage made to leave the track and refuel the motorcycles and the driver
Imagine that pushing your motorcycle when it is full of dirt stuck everywhere remains a very complicated step
Refueling is an important moment, you should know that this race is an endurance race and the goal is to hold out until the end. To succeed, it is therefore necessary to house the man and also the equipment.
He does not wear protective glasses against projections the ground was so greasy that the projections of earth being too important dirtied the glasses and made driving impossible. The first risk he takes while riding like his is to lose an eye with a small pebble or even a metal particle thrown by the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
He drinks as much land as he does water hahaha.
It's time to go and the team filled up the bike with gas and oil and all of them in less than a minute.
I found this color photo of the motorcycle repainted in earth color. take a good look at the engine the next photo will show you in a zoomed version
When I was younger I had an old mobile that I repaired to make it a little less ugly, I did not have too much money so I did with the means at hand, sometimes I spent 2 hours cleaning my carburetor because a little thick dust had managed to pass and blocked my jet. When I see this block of earth around the engine I am in awe of this sealing plug. Even the air filter is no longer visible!
Thank you for viewing my images and I wish you all the best for 2022
