Got MOT tests booked for a couple of my bikes tomorrow so thought it was a good idea to give them a wash/check over for any obvious issues, the little Suzuki vanvan has covered 1.6k miles in 7 years & the white BMW f800gt is now on 10k Miles since 2015 (it’s mechanically unusual as it’s a parallel twin with 3 con rods)
All seems well so hopefully I’ll take them for a spin out after getting the tests done :thumbsup:

Indeed! Make your own road, don't need bridges, and can simply lift obstructions out of the way. Perfect!
Fun getting in them though. Got a ride in one years back . Dropping in through the roof is fine, but getting out isn't so easy, especially after being bounced around off road for half an hour!

Yea I found the red a bit plain. Something different for me. I'm normally a black on black guy, but fancied a change.

Im the same, I have a black 5VY that I have owned for 13 years. Almost bought a Kenny Roberts Anniversary model but thought I would get fed up of the bright colour.
