• I've started to be tempted by the idea of a motorbike, largely on the basis that I'm hopefully now of an age where discretion will indeed be the better part of valour. And so I won't end up being scraped off the tarmac within a week of getting one. Although I'm currently tempted by a pre-war girder fork bike like a Matchless Model X, so the chances are it wouldn't start most of the time anyway.

  • Nice, but I'd prefer to have something homegrown. Anyway, I don't have a motorbike licence at the moment, so I'm still at the imagineering stage.
