Itched an itch yesterday
What can I say? I wasn’t particularly popular with SWMBO when she found it in the garage. She couldn’t understand the man maths that says the deals are to be had in the Winter.

I mentioned about buying a Yamaha 700 Tenere (naturally the world raid version) to the Mrs and it went down like a lead balloon.
WHY?......difficult one to answer
YOU DIDN'T USE THE LAST ONE YOU HAD!...... that's below the belt.

Thanks guys, when I think about all the dosh wasted on other things, then I don’t think it was unreasonable, particularly as I didn’t get a Crimbo pressi, I merely got my own!
SWMBO appears to have accepted it apart from telling me “it’s raining so you WONT be going out on it.” I didn’t say it was too cold for me in anycase. It will look nice in the driveway if nothing else.
I fancy another personalised number plate now.

One of my biggest regrets in earlier life (I'm now 53) not doing my bike test. Our son was on about it to me over Christmas and I've told him to go for it.visiting from www.rrsport.co.uk

I can thank my long departed mother. She taught me to drive a car, but before I took the test, I scraped it along one side.
She promptly bought me a motorcycle! I put in for that test straight away as there was a six month wait, but got it the next week, I passed much to my surprise. I was on L plates a couple of weeks in total.
