Last night, the very new to London, Gemma and Claire, came over for dinner which was followed up by the complimentary 'London tour' Woz bestows on all our guests. The 'London Tour' comprises of a high speed jaunt around the city on the back of a red Ducati (the colour is very important - they go faster you know), giving the pillion a chance to take in the sights of all of London's beautiful and iconic buildings lit up in the night sky.

We played a tag team, with Gemma going first, then Claire. The girls then gave Woz and I the first hour alone we've had in about six months as I set off on the back of the bike. There's such a freedom in being able to jump on a bike and just go, particularly when you live in a city where public transport is the norm. Jumping on the tube and going all the way to Uxbridge, Watford or Cockfosters just isn't the same.

As you will know, Woz has sold his motorbike and will hand it over to the new buyer this Friday. Last night may have been our last ride for a very long time as we wont buy a bike in Libya. Not too sure the combination of sand and Italian design will be a match made in heaven.
