The Blackbird is back.

About 2 years ago, I did one of the most stupid things I've ever done. I had owned a Honda Blackbird from 2000. I kept it in absolutely mint condition, and I absolutely loved it. It was a STUNNING piece of machinery - like being on a jet turbine engine. I LOVED that bike.

So why I decided to sell it on for an absolute pittance, I will never really know. But sell it I did. And I have regretted it ever since.

I sold it on the basis that if it was ever to go up for sale again, I would get first dibs on it. I never expected it to be available again, but lo and behold - the guy phoned me up saying he was planning to sell it and did I want ..."YES!" was the resounding answer before he'd even finished his sentence!

And there it is! It's the big red one for those who aren't into bikes.

And I am SO glad to have it back. I know we shouldn't' get too attached to stuff, but some stuff just brings such pure JOY!!!
