I bought it new on a sunny day in May 2000

Covered 16,000 brilliant reliable miles

Had some of the best times on a bike in 34 years of riding Bikes

I carried out annual oil & filter changes , two front & four rear tyres , Two spark plugs , a battery & a change of fork oil is all I ever changed on it ... it has always run so well that I never even adjusted the valve clearances or balanced the carbs !

Enjoyed some brilliant rideouts & 6 AR's with You Guys .. Hovis , Fizz ,Squirrel hunter , Mac 99 , Northwind , Blueflame , Stetchie & Gruntygiggles , Phil 24 7 , The biscuits , Quiff , lonewolf , wideboy , widepants , Pengi & Pengu ? to name a few & I have a special soft spot for the Soho Crew who are always so friendly & a such a laugh :D

Anyway Tomorrow she goes :( but I hope You won't mind me still looking in on here now & then as joining this Forum has gained me so many people I feel I can call Friends ..

Cheers Caz

PS. Blimey just seen Vineys earlier post nice one Mate .. hope You keep enjoying Her !!!

Sorry to hear this Caz - at least you're staying with two wheels in one form or another.

I'm sure we'll see you at the AR, Porlock etc.

Don't be a stranger.

Don't be a stranger, I honestly never thought that you would part with it.

Yep, I thought that as well.
