This blog is about me, the way I do things, the way I see things, how I'm affected by what is going on around me, my feelings on any issue that I want to comment on. The strap line From Tea to Whisky describes me. I start every day with a mug of tea and end every day with a shot of whisky -- I've done it for over 50 years and I see no reason to change now. So that's an apt description of me and my blog which I hope you enjoy.

New (to me) motorbike
After 2 years riding a Suzuki GW250 Inazuma "commuter", and having finally retired from all employment I have treated myself to an upgrade as a retirement present to myself. So what is it?
In the past I've ridden Honda, Suzuki & Yamaha but no Kawasaki so I have now put that right with a Z650RS in grey, first registered in March 2023 and with 1 former owner it had 2,800 miles and a full service history from the the selling dealer, Derby Kawasaki.
Yesterday me and my riding buddy managed an 80 mile ride out and all was good, no issues but I will be glad when the screen I have ordered comes through and I get it fitted. Further updates to follow.
