Funniest thing i have read in a while. My SV does 7k a year commuting in london and out n about and is 10 years old in December showing a shade under 68k and is still fine. ANY bike would survive that ffs, even that ropey old triumph of drews (It will actually do 100k+ with the right maintaince)

the Tiger is a real ugly bugger compared to Drew's but I'm still going to view it tomorrow with Dizz & Peg.
Viney you don't get the weather and salt we do you have that toxic brown cloud which melts the rain/snow I remember how it was mainly sunny when i lived in woolwich lol.
I live in the country where the council love gritting and although I have shares in autosol sometimes i get home at night and have to stick my bike straight in the garage.

Wouldn't go near that place again - sold me a car with no MOT, dangerous faults, and then received evasion and threats and abuse when I asked them why they had done so after they told me the MOT was "in the post". Reported them to trading standards in the end.

Shucks. Dunno what to say!

..or is just I give you my opinion wether you damn well like it or not

Seriously Drews a good bloke and so is Lily...and err Drew I seem to recall YC being an arguementative young sod that needs a kick in the shin, cause he don't like shiny bikes!...not a grumpy old man
