When will Spring be here??
What the old saying about March? In like a lion, and out like an angry lion? This weekend has seen another dump of snow, at least it was only 2 or 3 inches this time…
Anyway, it’s a little disheartening when you’ve got a shiny, new (to me) red motorbike waiting in the garage – calling with its siren song. Yep, we are now a two motorbike family. After Brenda got her motorbike licence last year, she decided that she was used to and comfortable on my 2000 SV650S – so she stole it. I was pretty sad when I discovered the theft, but at least I knew the culprit and was able to extract some compensation!
Of course, when your motorbike is stolen, the only thing to do is to replace it. So after thinking about what I might like, going to the motorbike show in January, and spending some lunch hours browsing the bike dealerships, I decided that the best bike to get would be a 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 ( in “arrest me red” of course). But then my inner Scotsman heard about the plan (i.e. the price tag) and had a go at my inner Hooligan.
So on Friday I picked up my new bike – a 2006 SV650S …at least I got the colour I wanted…
Now if the weather would just cooperate.
