No new bike, not in the immediate future. The plan is to get one in around 18months before my no-claims expires, and it'll be a joint bike for me and the missus. We fancy a Ducati Monster.
Recording just isn't my thing, I enjoy the playing but I have no desire to write or record anything. I just like doing pub gigs and playing for my own amusement :)
I think I'll have a breather from buying anything if I can, and spend some time going out with the missus :D
I was like you once, then I got some recording gear...nothing much has come out of it except learning how to use it so far, but its so good, learning it and hearing back the results. You know that road trip I went on? Well I had a ride in the Lamborghini with that warpig clip I knocked up on the CD player. It was a great feeling, hearing that, in that car and seeing the 5 grand sound system sub woofer bouncing around to the bass, that I played. 8)
Good luck with the Monster, they still look cool as f*ck today.
Your Missus sounds like an angel Dave, so some time out with her would be a great idea. It's all about getting the balance right isn't it.
