What have i let myself in for!!!!!

simonmarkellis · Nov 6th 2009, 4:40 am

I've only gone a bought a Mountain Bike!!!

As an effort to be fitter and having joined a gym not being productive due to proximity and work commitments i thought bugger it i've got to do something...

But i haven't ridden a bike for 20+ years... is this the beginning of my mid life crisis? It's not a Harley but still!!!

Ah Suzuki thou. I will be leaving my Blackbird behind and OH will be doing same with her Vtec VFR. Going to start again....possibly with a Triumph Street Triple! That B King is a monster beast! Ours are getting the miles up and have been salt ridden....
