First day back at work and what a lovely day for it too. I found myself in the Cotswolds<\/strong>. Yeah, that place with many house names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scenery, as ever, was stunning. I find the drystone walling<\/strong> in the Cotswolds pretty interesting. It looks pleasing on the eye, lifts up the area, and brightens the landscape. The way the individual stones lock together without mortar is clever. And, let\u2019s be honest, Cotswold walling<\/strong> isn\u2019t cheap given the craftsmanship that goes into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I shan’t bore you with my fascination for cream-colored stone walls.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what did the first day have in store for me? Well, not much, really. Just a house name<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, the postcode was shared, so finding the area was a breeze, but finding the actual place was a bit\u2026 interesting. No contact number for the guy either, which didn\u2019t help\u2014especially when I was delivering expensive servers to a location with zero clear directions. But that\u2019s logistics for you. Expect the unexpected. (Other overused and outdated cheesy lines are available.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dealing with the confusion of house names and shared postcodes, I decided to take a quick break. I popped into BMW Motorrad<\/a><\/strong> in Northampton<\/strong>, and what a treat it turned out to be. Sitting in the corner of the showroom were some classic motorbikes<\/strong> that really caught my eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Suzuki AP50<\/strong> \u2013 A motorbike with pedals. Seriously. It\u2019s a quirky little piece of history, and I couldn\u2019t help but admire it. No, I didn\u2019t have a go, and NO, I didn\u2019t ask either.
\ud83d\udc49 Yamaha RD250<\/strong> \u2013 A real classic, loved by bikers back in the day. If you know, you know.
\ud83d\udc49 Kawasaki Ninja (first gen, I believe)<\/strong> \u2013 A legendary bike that really shaped the sport in its time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real surprise came when I spotted the BMW CE 04 electric scooter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BMW CE 04 \u2013 What Is It?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An electric scooter. I wasn\u2019t expecting to see an electric scooter amongst all those classics, but the BMW CE 04<\/strong> definitely stood out. It\u2019s got a sleek, futuristic design and some solid tech, but it\u2019s \u00a314K<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For some reason, I can\u2019t imagine a load of Deliveroo<\/strong> riders taking a great deal of interest.
\u00a314,000<\/strong> for a scooter! This isn\u2019t just any scooter. It\u2019s a premium product from BMW<\/strong>, probably aimed at people with a disposable income many times my annual salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It made me wonder if the BMW CE 04<\/strong> is BMW\u2019s<\/strong> version of the Aston Martin Cygnet<\/strong>. Why not? While it\u2019s undoubtedly stylish and cool, I\u2019m not sure it justifies the hefty price tag. But then again, I\u2019m not the targeted audience, so my opinion here is irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously <\/strong>\ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I love about showrooms is they\u2019re perfect for a pit stop. Whether it\u2019s BMW Motorrad<\/strong> or another brand. They usually offer free coffee, clean facilities, and friendly staff who are more than happy to have a chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s a catch: it\u2019s way too easy<\/strong> to get carried away and accidentally put a deposit down on a new bike. Trust me, it happens more often than you think, especially when you’re surrounded by bikes you wouldn\u2019t mind taking home! So, if you’re just browsing, be careful\u2014you might find yourself falling in love with something you don\u2019t need. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n
