Friends Reunited

So this is not about the egregious peer-tracking site but about me and my friend C, who met up this weekend to go to the Bike Show at the NEC.
I had a wonderful day; it was not without it’s moments of bittersweet comedy; it was excellent to see him again.
I nearly bought a very expensive watch (not going to now, as a 1940’s Jaeger LeCoultre is being cleaned and prepared for me at a jewellers in town) and I also took a giant step closer to buying a bike. Not, like, today; but evenutally I figure. Hell, if the Two Fat Ladies could go about on 2 wheels then I certainly can!
Sat astride a CBR600 at the Honda stand; it was remarked that I suited it (or it suited me) to an unconscionable degree, and by crikey, I think that’s true. And I always did fancy myself head-to-toe in cowhide.
Ah, my dear, I can picture it now. And I feel that, at somepoint in our future, we WILL escape on some long two-wheeled overland adventure. CBR 600? An excellent choice.
You and me, doing a Ewan / Charley across Europe! What a picture, and an excellent aspiration… but we’d need stronger front forks at the end of the trip than the beginning - all those pates, baguettes, saucissons, daubes, moules frites etc!!!
