So, I'm starting Crisis Christmas tomorrow. But this year there's a slight catch: my centre (centre 2) will be in Stratford, which is several miles away from where I live. London's already dodgy public transport system effectively shuts down over Christmas and besides, I have to be at the centre by 6am for the next eight days.
But I have found a solution...
... and it's this:

That's right: my new Suzuki Bandit 650SA. Well it'll be mine from 5pm today. Only 8 months after passing my motorbike test, I've finally got my arse into gear to buy a bike.
Thank heavens for online tutorials like this one, which will hopefully stop me making a complete fool of myself in the shop later today.
Oh and I've never ridden in the dark before, so today and the next 8 days are going to be "interesting"...
