Frustrated by a lack of Hyper-ness I have started inventing shopping lists of all the things I have wanted to do but never got around to. It’s amazing what you can find to buy on the Internet that you’ve never even thought of before, when you don’t have a sickle sitting in the shed to …
Ihaven’t sorted out getting out on two wheels yet, albeit there is a pretty nice early 2000 model 998 sitting in the shed that I have been offered up, but insurance is a problem for overseas visitors so I’ve been stuck in a cage.
