New Watch

-
Well as someone famous once said: Christmas is Coming. 

I haven't had an expensive kind of watch for a while. My last "name" watch is a Fossil with stainless steel bracelet and the LCD screen and two displays with the full screen seconds counting down as well as the hands. Sadly this has been junked as the winder mechanism has broken inside and they wanted £55 for the parts plus labour to fix it. The watch hardly worth that. 

The strap on the watch that I have been wearing, since I bought it in March 2016, broke this week. The Mudder watch came from Amazon for £10.50.  

So three and a half years wasn't too bad. 

I went back to Amazon and lo and behold the same sort of Chinese plastic LCD watch is available. Several versions, so I bought one. 

The only difference being this one doesn't have any little red trims. The cost? £9.95. Negative inflation at work. 

See how long this one lasts.

After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
