The Spiritual Growth Motorcycle Prize (£Depends upon your stage of Enlightenment, very possibly worthless)
A weekend to enjoy Mum’s Moto Guzzi 500cc vintage motorbike, Murphy (‘if it can go wrong, it will’).
This superb machine, which sounds like the best kind of tractor (if and when he chooses to start), is held together with araldite and love and is probably better to listen to than to actually mount. In fact, if you do get astride Murph, your proper troubles are only about to start. Poorly turned out, endlessly dropping essential parts on the road, Murph has an excellent sense of humour and is a real cracker on one of his good days.
To get the most out of this unusual prize you’ll need a clear diary, an absence of rush, and no sense of ambition. A full set of fireproof Kevlars is recommended.
