This Thursday the BBC continues its series called “Town”.

Nicholas Crane - from the BBC website

SHOWING ON BBC2 & BBC HD at 9pm on THURSDAY

“We live in one of the most urbanised countries on earth. By 2030 a staggering 92 percent of us will be living the urban life. Congested cities sprawl across our map, but they are not the only way to live. Smaller than a city, more intimate, more surprising: this series celebrates the forgotten world of the town.

The gateway to the Scottish highlands, Perth is a town packed with history. It has been a royal burgh since 1124, has survived a regicide within its walls and rebuilt itself after devastating floods. It is also a town that wants to be a city, and geographer and adventurer Nicholas Crane is on a journey to find out why, what benefits that brings, and what the town has to do to achieve its ambition.”

Me touching something I can't afford - the new BMW S1000rr

I said I wouldn’t go. I wasn’t going to go!

But the wife said she was going to take me for my birthday day out so we ended up at the Bike Show in Edinburgh today – and i’m glad we did. There was a lot more there than the previous two years (imo) and we managed to spend 4 whole hours looking around. A massive improvement on the 2 hours spent last year!

Area 51 had a massive area with heaps of customised machines on display, and a competition allowing us plebs to vote on their favourite bike. Later on they had bands playing too, and a good atmosphere to boot.

Plenty of good bargains were to be had if you were on the lookout for new clothing and gear, as long as you can tell the difference between quality and complete kack!

If I go next year it WILL be on the bike…

The new VFR1200 - the jury is still out...
