What if?

Ever play ‘what if’ as a kid?

My mate Steve and I did, all the time. You had a fiver and had to buy sweets for a week. We grew – and so did the game. First cars, best girlfriends, that kinda thing.

So it was with a smile (and a beer) that Steve and I had the same discussion last night.

This is how Steve put it, kicking back in my study the other day:

‘So imagine – you’ve got your nice, detached house, your big GS sitting in a twin garage, workshop all kitted out. You’ve got a big garden, pool, drive, electric gates. Wife’s happy. Kids too, getting good marks in a good school.

You’re financially comfortable – you have all the time and money you need to do your thing. 🙂

Life couldn’t be better.

Then you’re told you’ve gotta spend 30 grand. In 48 hours. What do you do?”

Have to say, I had to give it some thought and biking won out. So, here’s my choice:

New KTM 690 Enduro R (7 grand)

Rally Raid Adventure kit (2 grand)

Klim kit (a grand)

Adventure-spec hard parts and soft luggage (a grand)

Airlift bike and me to Cape Town (15 grand?)

Beer, whisky and cigars from duty free (couple of hundred quid)

A bit of female company (the rest) 🙂

What if , huh?
