    Tonight has seen the perfection that is chicken vindaloo, mushroom rice, mushroom bhaji, bombay aloo, sag aloo - aahh bliss!

    Tomorrow will largely be spent at the beemer stealers negotiating new beemer cars, followed by a pilgrimage to Bluewater for the final Xmas present shopping.

    Sunday, will see the usual family invasion for Sunday lunch, followed by thought provoking conversation between an agent, a black cab driver, a builder, a housewife, a bank manager, a trader and a teenager, plus a grandmother - as you can imagine everyone has an opinion. Followed (after the ongoing rows by a dose of TopGear.

    Will probably go to that temple of consumerism, Brent Cross Shopping Centre.

    And got to sweep the leaves from the garden 'cause I can't see the garden anymore.

    Rugby isnt like football, every test matters in rugby, and if you think being useless for 4 years and then making a WC final is a good result.... go back to football.
    Of course if you win everything except world cups you're likely to say that.

    Strangely enough there is a sockpuppet on there that looks just like me.

    Yeah, I think the GS will be better. Just the hidden copper in me wants to try a Pan.

    I've a K75 in my collection, #7 off the production line. So no ABS or fairing etc. The K series is a nice ride whatever the model.

    Never did the travelling thing after uni and now I reckon its time - putting it all into storage and heading off. This contract finished in Jan, do some odd work for a few months.

    Leaving in April next year to go around Europe on a bike until July time then heading over to the US and doing coast-coast on it. Possibly might do south america if funds allow.

    Doing it with a Norweigan bloke I met on the internet - should be interesting to say the least. Looks like there will be 3 - 4 of us leaving together in April - can't frikking wait.

    Spend the last year planning it, got the bike licence now I just have to wait for this contract to end.
    Best of luck to you then. Sounds great. I generally do European tours, but I do have a plan to ride around the Baltic Sea within the next 3 years.

    Either way, have fun when you go...
