In the back of my van were 2 bikes, Both Suzuki's, my 750 Katana and GSX1100, I had sold them both to different people who both live in/near Canterbury, strange coincidence eh. got back home just before 6pm tonight. not worked out exact mileage yet but it's over 550 miles, 2 x deliveries, lots of coffee stops all in 22 hours..
I'll sleep well tonight

Oh alright then i'll come clean, I've bought my old FZ1 Fazer back.. Had it new in 2009, sold it 14 month later but not by choice, a friend bought it and now he's buying a new MT10 so it's coming home, left with about 6k and now has nearly 32k but condition as tip top as he's looked after it really well... I will use this for some longer trips which I'm hoping to do as I just don't get out on a bike enough.
