Yeah, Thanks TonyA. Not had it long and I got it with under 2k miles. Previously was strictly indoor use only, I think! I'll keep it 'sensibly' nice, tho. So along the way it'll get a few love marks - patina, they call it. My mates tell me this bike is 'Me'. Luv it!

Whoop! Another in Kent. We'll have to have a 'Men of kent' meet up!
 
Folkestone harbour again today , not much open apart from coffee shed , yep know bike filthy but it is used in all weathers, the eagled eyed of your May notice the “ Martello tower “ on the right of pic up on the hill , 200 years old , defensive fort built as a deterrent against a french invasion, private residence now , walls are 14ft thick, & if you really look close at the bottom of the off side front forks you may notice a popped fork seal ( deep joy ) another job to have done b4 the MOT next month , together with a broken tank/battery box support (again) & a set of tyres .
Lunch at the pedlar again on second pic

Hello Richard , You will be one of a very few that will have more that 25k miles on their bike !
 
In an attempt to clear that muck of the 961 I decided to nip out to see what “Storm Eunice “ was all about , 89 miles later all I could experience was a light breeze & brief shower , fibbing a bit actually, chucked it down , rather blowy on a dual carriageway, bike handled it better than I did , home on auto pilot
