Best wishes to all

funny you say that, the guy across the street from me just returned to bikes last week and has bought one of those, changed the pipes for little cones and have to say it sounds nice, had a good look round it and they seem well screwed together kinda like an old bike that doesnt break down

BMW R nine T Racer bought on looks alone. It's stunning

A very good friend of mine has one, that's what gave me the idea
He says it's the best bike he has every owned, and he has had a fair few bikes over the years.

I'd say you summed the bike up very well Rob
