coming back to life...

Not only is the title of this post an excellent Floyd song, it is too apt a phrase to pass when starting some much-missed activity after a long long while.....

And thus, it is with great pleasure that I announce my grand return to one of the grandest cultures on the planet - motorbiking!

Well, maybe not as grand as I wished it to be. I have gained barely two and a half cubic inches of engine displacement as compared to my past ride, but I have also gained maybe seven years' worth of technical advances so I am not complaining too much! A wholehearted adherence to the "no replacement for displacement" dictum can wait a while...

So here I am, now the proud owner of the latest avatar of a motorbike with an advertising campaign that implores me to forgive everyone so that I eventually feel like god, and in the first few hours on the saddle of this iron horse, I feel that the campaign might be quite right on the money (till I give in to the aforementioned dictum).
