My favourite transportation

I have travelled to many places overseas and domestically in my lifetime and have used many modes of transport from cars, trucks, motorbikes, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, pushbikes, horses, roller skates, trains, kayaks, boats, ships, scooters, funiculars, cable cars, elevators, travelators, shopping trolleys (carts),office desk chairs, buses, buggies, quad-bikes, trikes, go-karts...I think you get the idea.

This week the #weekend-engagement topic week 47 asked about favourite transport and I figured I'd better answer my own question and talk about my own favourite transport.

One could think my favourite transportation would be my F100 pickup featured in this post from yesterday but I actually have a different answer which has something to do with the images in this post...Can you work it out? [Don't worry, I'm going to tell you.]

You're looking at my ATAC duty boots by 5.11 Tactical. These are not the current model as I've had these for over four years. Some changes have been made to the new model but nothing too life-changing - These are still good to go, fully operational, so there's no need to replace them. Need over want folks, that's the way I operate.

Now...I'm not saying these particular boots are my favourite mode of transport, or any other boots for that matter...They go one the ends of what actually is! Worked it out yet?

My legs and feet combination

That's right folks, my favorite form of transport is my legs and feet! They're pretty legit too...Well, I guess this depends on who is doing the looking. You'd have to see them in real life to be in a position to judge I guess, but I guess they could be described as generally, reasonably, averagely legit; Ok, so I have a little-toe malfunction on my left foot but...Still totally averagely legit in a mediocre way! Don't make a thing of it though, the toe, I don't want my little toe to feel self-conscious.

My legs have been with me for a fair while, slightly over 51 years I guess now, and have served me well carrying me into, and out of, places that wouldn't have been possible unless I had them.

They start around my hip area and extend downwards all the way to the ground with one on the left and the other on the right side. They work in unison along with their sub-components like knees, feet and ankles of which somewhat unsurprisingly, I have two of each.

I try not to have favourites, left to right, but in truth I have a soft spot for the right leg...Shh, don't tell the left or it might cease to operate in protest, go on strike or something. That would be problematic.

Right on the end of each leg, at the ground end, is a foot each with five toes. These feet come in handy and make a convenient place to strap on my ATAC's or any other footwear item I decide to adorn my feet with; It's quite fortuitous.

Below you can see those feet things I mentioned at lower right and, if you look carefully, you can make out the lower section of my averagely legit legs which are nicely tanned because it's been summer, and I'm sort of mocha coloured anyway. I brown up nicely in the sun, sort of like a piece of toast in a toaster, although I'd probably not accept being spread with Nutella and eaten.

There's a couple reasons why my legs/feet combination is my favourite mode of transportation with the first being that they are just so adaptable.

They can run, walk, stroll, hike, climb, swim, dance, hop, jump and kick people too...Legit right? I have told a little lie here though...My legs can't dance. Well, they can but one does what it wants and the other does something completely different...Then, my body does the same, arms, head and torso also acting independently in some bizarre display of movement...Even my eyes get in on the act, both end up pointing it opposite directions and one goes bigger than the other. The effect is somewhat disturbing to observers so I have a strict no dance policy.

If my legs' adaptability and flexibility their, we're up for anything adventurous nature, is not enough to make them my favorite transportation here's another reason.

They're also pretty fashionable. They can wear jeans, shorts, pyjama's suit-trousers, camouflage fatigues, socks, different types of shoes, boots and flip flops and can even go naked like in the above image to the lower right. So...That's why my legs are my favourite transportation.

I'm pretty sure that every other form of transportation I've ever used, or will ever use, wouldn't be quite the same without my left-right leg-foot combination. I mean how would I even get to that other transportation if I didn't have the aforementioned appendages? And so, these two most legit means of transportation take the title of most favoured transportation and I have to say, they're pretty happy with the accolade although the attention makes them shy.

Now, how about you? What's your favourite form of transportation? Feel free to comment below and if you would like head over to the weekend-engagement topic post week 47, take a read on what to do and leave a comment there - Or do both y'all.
