I’m picking up my new (second hand) bike this afternoon, a 2004 KTM 640 supermoto. So why am I not excited? Normally I have difficulty sleeping and concentrating on work, but this time it’s just not the same. Normally I take the day off work, but I just went in early today instead. I’m sure it will be a good bike and a lot of fun, but it’s no R1

I was away at the NEC in Birmingham yesterday for the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show 2005.
To be honest it was a bit disappointing compared to last year. There were a few new bikes on show, most notable for me were Yamaha’s new R6 and Suzuki’s latest GSXR 600 and 750. Kawasaki had their new ZX10 there and I have to say – what does it take for Kawasaki to make a nice looking bike?! Perhaps their particular style just doesn’t appeal to me?
There weren’t many ‘brolly babes’ around either. I get the impression that the manufacturers are increasingly spending all of their budget on the press day and then skimping on the rest of the show. Jay and Cezar from LB was up there for the press day and got some good photos. I was so unimpressed with the show that I came away with just 10 pictures on my camera!
I came away with a new T-shirt (mainly because the one I wore on the way up there got drenched in the rain which somehow found it’s way past the collar of my jacket) and an Alpinestars armoured jackety thing (hard to explain, see picture!).
I have just ‘upgraded’ my blog to use WordPress instead of Blogger.
Blogger is a fine service, but I wanted to use categories from the start and also have custom pages which could be tricky to do. WordPress gives me all these things and more. It was my second choice to Blogger when I started blogging, but after my friend Rob Roy switched recently I decided to follow his example.
