Welcome along, the bike is still looking superb! Thank you, to be honest I don’t take her out very much these days. I have a Honda Monkey 125 which is a hoot and I tend to use that. My biking days are pretty much recreational now. I don’t go far and NNR is properly pampered. Obvs this time of year with all that salt about she’s best off where she is but on a fine summers day it’s a real treat to go for a bimble. I recently acquired some minter engine/ crash bars and I’m always on the look out for that elusive NOS red invader nose fairing to add that finishing touch and to recreate the bike I had in 1981. Other than that she’s all finished now and enjoying a quiet retirement..

Yes, 10 years ago I planned to be in that mode by 60, in two years time, my last employ retirement date, but as I had the circumstances and opportunity to leave at 55, I'll be into extra time. As two years were mostly tripping back and forth forth to Thailand, and into lock down when back to the UK last March and travelling stopped. So I've got probably got 4 years to do the heavier stuff on what I have, and then pampering, playing, buying ready cooked after that.... .

Oh my giddy aunt.....Mansell. You still have your SD? I thought you'd let her go in the end?. Welcome to the forum. Thanks Nick, hope you’re well, you might recall I did advertise her once but no genuine interest. It was a close call, I’m so glad I didn’t get a sale. Are you still in the US of A? I presume you still have the undercover!!
