Hey, I lived a rather normal life here on Earth. Had a decent job and a nice apartment. But that all changed when a mysterious biker babe offered me the trip of a lifetime. I took the chance and it turned out said biker babe was in fact an horse-like alien from another world and the trip she mentioned actually had less to do with exploring America and more to do with exploring the universe.
Just what the hell have I gotten myself into?

Be forewarned this story is indeed a self-insert, but the me in the story is from an alternate Earth where MLP:FiM doesn't exist.
Special thanks to JowyBean and TheArtrix for the cover arts.
Thanks to Willow the Pegasus for Pre-reading and helping me with editing.
This is 100% Approved by Twilight's Library!
SI or not you got me the moment I saw Biker Babe Celestia, *grins* that in itself is awesome.
This looks like it will be a fine story. Faved.
This has a lot of potential. Lakes and faved. Don't disappoint ;)
Well, at least he's honest.
Don't screw this up K?
Bout time she got a vacation, huh.
At least 1000 years since she was free to take one.
Ah, the hoverbike. The second most radical form of space transit.
Looks interesting, it's definitely got a like and a favorite from me. I think I'd prefer it more if we saw more of her in her human disguise, but we'll see how it goes from here. You've got yourself a moustache, sir.
She needs a vespa if she wants to travel the universe.
Seems interesting. Will there be a romance sub-plot beyween Wes and Celestia?
2858390 Vespa!!!
Liked and tracked.
I expect many Doctor Who-ish misadventures, and a potential plot to destroy/re-write the universe.
Whenever someone is named Wesley I always think of Wesley Wendon Price but I suppose this isn't an Angel crossover. Anyways it's interesting so far. Biker Celestia gets watch.

I'm getting more of a Hitchhikers vibe.
but I guess Dr. Who would work too.

Either or would be fine with me, so long as it's nonsensical and I have to read it more than once to understand what the hell is going on.
I knew it! I mention earlier in deviantart about that picture somebody will eventually make a fic and omg its here!
*instant fave*
I can see the emerging Gary Stu...It hurts...

I certainly see a normal person here. Working at a company in Redmond doing bug reports isn't an impossible job.
So, how do you know its a Gary Stu? I certainly don't see it. I would recognize it he's the perfect person, but he seems normal.

I've read enough stories on this site to recognize the signs. First, we have an immortal goddess walking into a diner and for some unexplained reason, deciding to sit at the protagonist's booth. The protagonist immediately becomes this suave player, calling her 'hon' and whatnot. They have a chat, he pays for her meal. As a repayment for what was probably no more that $10 of food, she decides to offer him, out of all 7 billion+ humans on the planet, a chance to go with her. There's no character building, no rhyme or reason to anything that happened.
The cherry on top is that the author admits this is a self-insert. Now, I have nothing against self-inserts; I've read some pretty good ones. But I've also read some really poor ones. And the poor ones almost always fall to that level because of the Gary Stu Syndrome. It's a very common issue, so common, in fact, that I usually don't bother commenting on it. But this is a really good story concept, and I'd hate to see it ruined.
Don't get me wrong. I still plan to follow this and read it for a few more chapters, to see if I'm wrong, which I freely admit I could be. I was merely stating my views, hoping the author would perhaps recognize that he was becoming a Gary Stu and rectify the issue.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a bottle of rum.
le GG make more soon

What the most radical then?

Can't tell you, even if you actually happen to live in Redmond. I'm saving that for my own story.
If it's sapient, that would be Xenophilia, not Bestiality.
While there is a number of accepted ways to handle ellipses, all of which keep the number of dots consistent, and down to three.
Keep writing, if you don't mind that is.
What?
I said... Keep writing, if you don't mind that is.
A little louder please?
KEEP WRITING IF YOU DON'T MIND THAT IS!

Oh don't you worry, I certainly am. Working on the second chapter now. =3
Best name for anything ever. Haven't read a word yet - not even of the description - but even if the story tanks the name, alone earns you my respect (and the picture my unexpected erection).
3140869
Thanks man, I certainly hope I won't disappoint!
Please continue writing!
3171053
Don't worry I am. I'm just waiting for my editor to look at my finished second chapter.
3171087
I'm really looking forward to it.
Awesome. You updated.
Now onto the Doctor Who like adventures.
Best part... Celestia explains why she admires humanity, nice change from ponies thinking we are a bunch primitives
oh yeah this is going to be an epic story
I keep feeling like this would so rock if it was animated by the studios that did Tenchi Myo (sp?) or similar "Nice Guy and Super-woman" wierd fun...
Well, it's gonna be a fun trip alright. Cuz that bounty hunter they ditched? Silverwulf?
That's totally Lobo, and he's totally going to find them to collect the bounty on Celestia's head, which was probably placed by Sombra as part of his plan to give Celestia a very painful, very public execution UNLESS Princess Twilight Sparkle agrees to marry him, forcing Wes to save the day and get the girl of his dreams with his heretofore unknown superpower of Dumb Luck.
And that was the last anyone heard from Phyco before he opened the early Christmas present he received in the mail and was slain by a swarm of often deadly hobo spiders.
>“Some kind of advanced technology, there’s no way this can be magic!”
Something something Clarke's Third Law.

XD
You are right in that Silverwulf is a Lobo Expy. I thought the idea was sort of funny. and who knows, this might not be the last time we see Silverwulf.
3175575
Maybe he just lives fora really, really long time and is still sore about the last meeting he had with Celestia 250 years ago? I mean, how do we know that's her hoverbike?
3175584
Believe what you want to. I'm not telling...
UPDATE YAY
also I would've PAID to see that bar fight
3175606
I will, thanks. Now, to think up an incredibly convoluted backstory for all these players that will crashing to the ground with the next chapter.
I have a feeling that there will be a Star Wars reference
I don't know why, but I'm thinking about Megas XLR when I read this.
Not that I'm complaining or anything...
Cant wait for next page
3182407 God damnit.
Sweet
Awesome
BY THE EMPEROR! CELESTIA ADMIRES HUMANS!? IMPOSSIBLE!
Usually she just hates us.
However, cool story dude! Instant Fave+Upvote!
You know what that Bar fight needed? A Death Korps of Kriegs Commissar.
