I will have bored many of you with this already, so this is just for personal diaryism, really.
On 12th April, I ordered a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle (
much like this one) from
F2 Motorcycles of Banbury. For the uninitiated, this is a 1950s British bike that continued to be built in Madras, India, after the Redditch factory closed.
I believe it will arrive at F2 around the 28th April, and I will get my grubby hands on it about two weeks later when Dave Angel, the proprietor, has done some preparatory work on it (rustproofing, fitting electronic ignition, fitting a different seat, etc). 12th May has never looked so far away.
