Twin headlights!


Just thought I would show you a better picture of the bike. It's a funky design with chunky tyres and two powerful headlights that light the road ahead just as well as a car does. The bike can also be driven off-road - those knobbly tyres providing plenty of grip!

In case anyone is wondering, Minibu is on my lap as I write this. Bushka has been up on the desk, but her latest trick is to knock the lamp off, after which I normally knock her off!

New Honda Zoomer


We drove down from London to Portsmouth today to collect an almost new (immaculate) 50cc Honda Zoomer! I drove it the 70 miles back and barely stopped smiling - it was a sunny Autumn day, so I took my time, enjoying the scenery, and stopping in Petersfield for a coffee. The Zoomer growls along with an absurdly deep exhaust note, cruising at a gentle 40mph but sipping petrol - 100mpg should be easily possible. A perfect bike to run the 12 miles or so across London to work each day.
