Finally

I stopped talking about it, stopped looking at interesting motorbikes and bought one.

In the final stages it was a difficult choice between a Moto Guzzi and Royal Enfield, but sentiment won out as my first bike was a Royal Enfield Crusaider Sport 250, and even that choice wasn't straightforward as I was struck by both the Hymalayan and the Meteor models.

In the end the decison was made easy as this lovely retro 650 twin Inteceptor came on the market. I've only ridden it a few times so far, taking it gently, not having ridden for 24 years
