Nice too see you've done your test, I remember having a conversation with you about bikes at Harewood House last year

Nice bike too, just waiting for the clocks to change so it's a bit lighter at nights before I get mine back on the road :happy2:

Maybe a rethink is required. Difficult to get on and off but there is a reason for that. One piece is the way forward as no zips to break as your sliding down the road at 50mph :signLOL:

I stopped riding when the kids came but I hanker for a Suzuki RGV250 to rebuild.

The ED30 won't get a look in, have fun.

nice one! :happy2:

I shifted my street triple r 3 weeks ago due to lack of time to use it! On other hand use car on a daily basis! Found a nice bike renting place in Ireland so will use it for occassional spins! much cheaper than owning the bike unless you use a bike as your daily way of transport
