Not really, just rode till it got to the 9's then stopped to take pic, set off again until it clicked over. The photos near the stream were about 99998. The roads round there were utterly empty on Monday late afternoon.

I did the last 32K miles on this bike, I replaced a holed piston (bloody vacuum fuel taps failing causing weak mixture) and undercut 2nd and 4th gears that were slipping out occasionally. That's it though, very strong engines that I'll be expecting lots of years and miles more.
Off to Berlin on it in June, the annual XS1100 Euro rally is there this year.

Out and about on Hettie in North Norfolk today, with a stop off in Hunstanton for a cuppa. Very uninspiring photo of the beach but, you get the drift. 130 miles and all tickidy boo.

i really want to go riding now after seeing all these pictures!  too busy at work at the mo, although i've had permission (!) from my good lady to go riding all day saturday as she will be wedding watching with her friends. i'm planning on doing my favourite route at the moment which means riding from carmarthen to leominster and following the A44 all the way to aberystwyth. i'll be the slow guy on my DN-01....
