At last a descent day.
« on: July 16, 2022, 12:04:54 PM »
Spare afternoon and it’s a nice day. Went out on the 750 yesterday for run around the west mainland of Orkney. About 60 miles covered. She runs great and we have all gears. Maybe a bit lumpy on idle, something to tinker with over the winter months. Hopefully not idling much over the summer. 😃
