I have a birthday coming up in roughly a month’s time.

It’s one of those milestone birthdays (after 30, milestone birthdays really shouldn’t be celebrated IMHO).

For my last milestone birthday, ten years ago, I bought myself a new motorcycle.

Similarly, for the milestone before that, I treated myself to a new motorcycle.

There seems to be a pattern emerging.

Now, ain’t that a thing of beauty!

OK, i got her a little early, but: “couldn’t wait, wouldn’t wait”.

Of course, since I picked it up a week ago, the weather has been bloody freezing and consequently far too cold for me to go out riding.

Not to worry though, I have plenty of time to clock some miles up on her.

Well, at least ten years.
