I’ve always loved the look of the Africa Twin, it just seemed to have more of an adventure bike look and more true off road ability. I just heard that Honda may be reviving the model. Is this true? Will this be the bike to beat the GS domination?

Well I have finally booked up for the BikeSafe course and will be heading down Bromley on Saturday morning. A course run by the London Met where you get to ride around with one of London’s finest and they comment on your riding.
The week didn’t start of well with a ride into work resulted with a screw in my back tyre. I did hear the ‘pop’ and at the next junctions some guy said to me you have a massive nail in your tyre. A quick trip to FWR at Kennington after work got that sorted. Ready for the weekend and….. http://www.bikesafe.co.uk

Just back from a road trip looking up an old mate, visiting my mother and doing a little camping. It just so happened that the direct route from where I was camping to my mother’s was taking in Snake Pass. With riding in London I don’t get much chance to do a lot of twisties so it was an enjoyable ride even thought the only real rain I saw on the trip was on the top of the pass.

Two weeks off work to try and forget about work. Really thinking about turning off the computer and putting it away for the full two weeks and having some low tech shut down.

Christmas party, what to say things are not going I would wish. Not for me but for anyone. Christmas can be a difficult time. Take care all.

Looking forward to some winter sun, rock climbing and mountain biking. Just been asked by a Spanish girl to kiss the rock of El Chorro for her, can’t wait to be there.

After buying a new bike on Saturday I’ve had to wait until today to collect it and give it a proper ride. More than an hour talking to at insurance companies broke my will to fight on. There was also the issue of the bike not being taxed and I would need to get insurance before I could sort that out.
My Monday work time coffee break was spent on the phone to an insurance company, we more so, I was on the phone for half an hour. Lunch time was spent in the Post Office. My project manager was really nice and was ok with me leaving early.
A tube and train journey later and I was finally in West Croydon to pick up my bike. Was it really as good as I remember? The short answer was, yes. I think it is a great bike for the money, a 1992 Yamaha TDM850, but really well looked after. Everybody had been saying take it really easy and I was. A few times I did open her up and it is so nice to be on a big bike again.
In celebration of my new bike, passing my test and my new job, I christen this bike Victoria.
