Ok, so i didnt need to . Ok, so the 2013 Jotagas had only been ridden , lets say 15 times, You have to understand it , i had no control over anything. The little worm in my head wouldnt stop thinking about the new bike. One minute I would decide that it made no sense to get a new bike , that my old bike was only just run in , that it hadnt seen a rock let alone touched one and that the idea to buy a new Jotagas was foolish.
The next moment i had the phone in my hand calling the Steve Saunders to discover then they were going to be arriving.
The worm just wouldnt let go . Before i knew it i was in the van turning on the M25 droving the 80 miles to Freestyle motorcycles in Tunbridge Wells. I needed counselling. Everyone i spoke to i explained that i didnt know why i was buy a new one , but noone wanted to help me :). I arrived at Freestyle motorcycles at was incredibly impressed by the whole set up. This place is what a trials and enduro dealership is like in your dreams. Its huge , stacked with new and second hand bikes. It has a trials course right there so you can test the bike. There is a seperate coffee shop , selling proper fizz , whizz, pop, gurgle , spurt , steam coffee. There is a huge off road clothing department , an Adventure clothing and helmet department. Its all new and up to date . It is the best dealership i have ever ever been to in this country.
You should go there and check it out. Nooooooo ......i didnt get anything for saying this.I got a Jotagas coffee mug , but that was on my account of nagging for it and buy a new bike from them :) I dont like getting money or things from companies as you cant then tell the truth. I tell you this because its true.
Here are some piccies of this place

Simon Bird is a nice guy as he gave me the Jotagas mug by his left hand :)
I part exchanged my 2013 Jotagas at Freestyle in Tunbridge Wells for the new bike . I didnt even get a chance to give it a proper goodbye. I then drove the 165 miles to Steve Saunders Jotagas UK Importship where he had 10 new Jotagas's that had just arrived yesterday. I had a chat , as you do and then drooled a little bit at the new bikes. I then loaded her back up back off to home. Well well over 120 miles later i arrived home , tired.
I could keep taking photos of this bike all day long.There is so much detail that is gorgeous.
I need to be attached to my house on an elastic band rigged up to a timer. I get 3 minutes with the bike to take photos and TWANG - i get catapulted off to somewhere else :)

The crazy thing is that Simon Bird from Freestyle offered to have my bike delivered to them at Freestyle 3 days later , which would have saved myself 300 odd miles of driving and diesel
When your desperate and the worm is wiggling in your head , you have no choice and need it then :)
