On my way there soon then. Shame I can't bring the Zed.

Mean time, it's a glorious sunrise here right now so time to go open the garrage and enjoy the sounds of the S54. :striding accross the moors. driving: :D

If you fill up your tank I would fill with Esso 97 octane, this is ethanol free. Ethanol can coagulate if left over winter and block fuel lines.....been an absolute sod in a classic bike but fairly easily rectified as the fuel lines are simple to replace and the tank can be lifted off the frame and swilled out.....try that in a zed!
