Midlife Motorcycle Crisis: May 2006
http://mm-crisis.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 24, 2006. There's a motor show on at Canary Wharf where I work. Only one pitch has attracted my attention - The Triumph Motorcycle stand. If I needed any further motivation to pass my bike test, sitting on this bike would be it. The new Scrambler is beautiful too. I can see myself on one of these. Better make sure I'm ready for the re-test. Posted by john h @ 1:03 pm. Thursday, May 18, 2006. Back In The Real World. Posted by john h @ 10:31 pm. Wednesday, May 17, 2006. Tuesday, May 16, 2006.

Midlife Motorcycle Crisis: April 2006
http://mm-crisis.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 28, 2006. I was all set to start reading "Gravity's Rainbow", but then another old book caught my eye. Another that I had started and not finished and that seemed more appropriate for this site. So here I go again with " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. According to the Author's note "it should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodox Zen Buddhist. Practice. It's not very factual on motorcycles.

The World From Here. Wednesday, November 19, 2003. Michael Jackson Soon To Be Arrested. I'm sure you've already heard that Michael Jackson. May be arrested following a raid on Tuesday. Although I'm not a fan, I think it's clear that instead of being arrested, surely we should be helping him? After all, did he not suffer a painful childhood in an instable home? I think some sort of counseling or psychiatric help is in order, not jail. Posted by ruby @ 6:08 pm. Wednesday, November 12, 2003. As a friend poi...

Midlife Motorcycle Crisis: July 2006
http://mm-crisis.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 19, 2006. 360 - 10 bids - 71 watchers - 1007 page views. Ok, I think the auction is finally starting to move! I added to the description last night, telling everyone the reserve price - I never really know the best way to play ebay, either buying or selling. I just hope that if people are interested in bidding, they don't leave it too late. I still think it'll make the reserve. Posted by john h @ 12:46 pm. Tuesday, July 18, 2006. 310 - 7 bids - 63 watchers - 819 page views. I took it for ...

Midlife Motorcycle Crisis: August 2006
http://mm-crisis.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 11, 2006. My bike eventually hit the reserve and sold for 500. I had hoped for more, but I think 500 was fair. It's gone to a good home and the buyer is happy - seemed perfect for what he wanted. So now, as someone helpfully pointed out, I have a full licence and no bike! I've been tracking a few on ebay but so far nothing has been right. This would seem like a good time to end this weblog. I've achieved what I set out to - pass my bike test so I'm happy.

Midlife Motorcycle Crisis: June 2006
http://mm-crisis.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. The problem with spending a day cleaning up my bike to take pictures for ebay is that now I can hardly bear to ride it and get it grubby again. Yesterday I ended up bicycling to the station and nearly killed myself trying to ride home up the hills of Hastings later. I guess I'll either have to get fit or resign myself to further polishing.
