QUARTER-LIFE CRISIS

I ‘It’s going to be downhill from here…’, said one of my ex-colleagues while wishing me on my 30th birthday. And I just laughed it off. But, now that I am three years into my thirties, I’ve begun to realise that he wasn’t kidding. Getting up from bed every morning has become a bit of a task; the creaks from my bones are getting louder each passing day, and weekends are all about exploring the joys of lying down in bed. The pace of life has slowed down…

Sometimes, I feel that it’s the natural course of life to feel this way, but then, other times, I want to jump out of bed and get my mojo back. And when that happens, the first thing that comes to my mind is getting on a motorcycle.

Now, a couple of weeks ago I was wondering what big motorcycle should an old bum like myself get if they want to ‘reclaim their life’. And I zeroed in on the Suzuki Katana and Ducati Hypermotard because I absolutely love these two motorcycles. But, which one would be the right choice for me?
