Phone rings from UK.
It's my pal Gerry, owner of Metisse Motorcycles in the UK. I answer those calls on the first or second ring - it always leads to good things.
If you don't know Metisse in the US, that's understandable. Probably the last of the British bike brands actually made, by hand, in England. I know of only 2 that are in the USA.
I emailed Gerry a while back letting him know I was headed to the UK. Any chance I could drop in and visit?
"Hey mate. I'd be happy to see you again. Here's an idea...Why don't you head up here for the weekend, and you and I can spend a day tootling around the Cotswalds."
Tootling in the Cotswalds. I can do that.
"By the way, my prototype café racer is now finished for production, and I know you'd like to take her for a spin."
Gerry is the master of the understatement.
So here I am in SeaTac airport. In 24 hours, I'm pretty sure I will be figuring out a way to explain to Missus Hudson why our boys' college fund may need a few extra years to mature.
