Music

Was given the c.d. "Nine types of light" by my lads for a Xmas present. The band are TV on the Radio - a black art rock band from New York. They mix a fusion of jazz, funk, soul and disco into some great rock tunes. Check them out on You Tube.

Books

 Went to  a talk by Simon Gandolfi last week, he was a guest speaker organised by S Shrop's vintage motorcycle club. He wrote the book "Old Man on a Motorcycle" in which he rode from Central America down to the tip of Argentina on a Honda 125. He was in his mid 70's but still had a boyish enthusiasm for life. And rather than just observing he was a participant, and speaking Spanish he would naturally converse with just about anyone.
A 125? 120 mpg, a tank range of 300 ml's and spares he could get anywhere. Dropping it wasn't an issue and it can cruise at 55 - 60 mph all day. Makes a lot of sense.
  He has since rode back up to New York, around India and now aims to ride around the world - he's 80 next birthday. As he says "it's never too late"
 The venue was The Inn on the Green, Wentnor, S Shropshire. A really friendly bustling pub, offering accomodation and a campsite next to a small river All under the Long Mynd with some of the best biking roads in the country. Highly recommended!
