The Banality of Motorcycle Races
Even Motorcycles Can Be Boring Without This Key Story Ingredient
Picture the scene:
A seventeen-year-old girl wants to participate in a dangerous motorcycle race across the desert. (Think Dakar Rally meets Mad Max.) There’s obstacles in her way, though. For one thing, she has to be 18 to race, or else get her parents to sign a waiver – but the race is famous for fatal crashes so there is no way in H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks her parents are giving their permission. So now, she’s creating an elaborate ruse to fake the permission form and/or using a fake identity and a disguise to enter the race.
