Hi Roofus,
Welcome to this excellent forum, there's lots of help and encouragement here and a great many 750 owners - I only have the smaller siblings!
I visited Trowbridge once, as you have a street, pub and other places with the same surname as me!
Happy spannering!

Ian

Hi and a welcome from Compton Martin, currently driving through Trowbridge every morning on my way to work. I don’t have a 750 but a 400 and a 550 amongst others do have a lot of tools and help if you need it, you’re only 40 mins away and a nice ride. Comfy sofa (Andy) is Bristol, Rome’s (above) is in Frome, Matt’s in Yeovil and Tim (Multiman Tim) is in Bath so there’s loads of help in the general area.

Cracking looking bike though, well done
