I have just come off the back of a particularly cr*p week of writing 10-18 hours a day. We have a bunch of public holidays around this weekend here in South Africa (you too?) and in the magazine publishing business, deadlines wait for no man. So I thought stuff it, and have just come back from a ride that took me through miles of farmland (ever notice how your senses work better when you’re out riding? – you can smell the farms coming before you see them approach from the next hill)

The aroma of recent rain on winelands coupled with a seriously enjoyable mountain pass and not only is my writers block gone – but I feel like I have just had two week holiday. I should be able to claim my Triumph costs from medical insurance – its pure therapy… ha ha


Keeping it real since '62...
