Shes Back
« on: September 02, 2013, 06:57:47 PM »
 :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
It's only taken five months to repair but I got the bike back today just need the time to use her now
I had forgotten what it was like to ride she's a big old girl with almost nonexistent brakes but so much more rewarding than my Triumph 
Roll on summer
what it's September Bugger

Glad to hear it mate. I'll look out for a green flash on my ride to work! Have to say riding along Southend sea front this morning I was sorely tempted just to keep going for an hour or three ........

Well I used it for work today a round trip of 115 miles the speedo is out of whack again and I had forgotten how much noise the cam chain makes and the throttle seems a bit stiff so replacement cables are on order apart from that she runs spot on.I had a great ride even though it is a boring trip plenty of people waving and putting there thumbs up
