Monday 21st an early start in the fog and a great day in prospect.  I haven’t been to the bike show before and am really quite excited about this trip.  The fact that it’s getting towards the back end of the year, we’ve just got through a ridiculously busy period and the prospect of a day off work helps too.  There were some cracking bikes on show.  Favourites being the Victory Cross Country Tour, Triumph 1200 Explorer and the Moto Guzzi Stelvio.  I was, as you would expect, just like a kid in a candy shop.  I feel there is a need for more than one bike these days.  I like to ride decent distances so comfort and weather protection is pretty important these days.  Hence the Victory and the Moto Guzzi have such great appeal.  I suppose they are variations on a theme really but both offer very different experiences.  If only the bank account would stand it…we live in hope.
