What Next?

As it doesn’t look like I’m going to get myself a cruiser-type machine any time soon I’ve returned to looking at adventure-tourer bikes.

I really like the look of the Harley 1200 Sportster ‘Dark Classic’. It’s probably the lack of chrome. There’s even one for sale near me, and I was tempted, for all of about five minutes.

That’s the longest I’ve ever thought about buying a Harley. It must be some sort of impending mid-life crisis.
