We are living parallel bike lives Clubman. I'm just now returned from North Cornwall coast. Set off early yesterday morning across Dartmoor, and then a convoluted route avoiding trunk roads. Cook-up and beers on the beach with old friends, then back home today by similar route. Round trip of 240 miles, steady between fiifty and sixty when possible on open roads, with a five mile burst at seventy along unavoidable dual carriageway. Bike did me proud as ever, with one short stop each way, but ran for hours without a hiccup. And like yours, much admired everywhere. Alas I dropped it on arrival at friends' house - stationary, foot slipped away from me on gravel slope and the bike went over.
Small dent in headlight surround, bit of a scrape on front brake lever, but the full saddlebag took the brunt. Dammit. I'll be buying that short exhaust to compensate .......
Oh, and a new headlight surround of course.
