Back on the Royal Enfield Bear Monday Mutter—yes, a tad late, but it’s packed with cracking photos and the sort of bike chat I love. I’m going through the memories people have sent in, starting with Lilian & Rob and their proper “his & hers” setup. It’s the kind of thing that reminds me biking isn’t just about the machine, it’s about the people behind it and the stories that come with them. I also have a natter about being “hot at the top” and what it actually takes to be first—because let’s be honest, everyone wants to be top of the pile, but not everyone wants to do the graft that comes with it. And then there’s the bargain classic GSXR 750, which is exactly my sort of temptation: old-school performance, proper presence, and the kind of deal that makes you start justifying shed space you don’t really have. It’s another simple Monday Mutter—bikes, life, and a bit of perspective—no nonsense, just how I see it.
