If your bike was registered in January 1978 you'd be annoyed  >:(

Could be worse at least you have something to look forward too.

I thought I had a strange obsession with the 250 but I'm beginning to worry about you Graham.  ;D ;D

Once it started, which took a while due to an air lock in the fuel line, I had a road tax free run down the road to Brighton and back. Splendid.

 ;D ;D ;D I bet that was the only thing in Brighton that was free this afternoon. Love Brighton, used to go there a lot when I lived in Crowborough.

Crowborough, home of John Harris Motorcycles. A fine town, I worked and lived in Uckfield for a few years.

It is indeed a fine town and I miss not living there very much. I can't even remember how many Hondas I have bought from John Harris M/c's over the years, well Steve Harris actually but it's well into double figures.
Did you enjoy your ride today?

Forgot to say, John has retired and Steve runs the place. I still take my bikes there for their MOT.
