Yeah, respect. Its good to see the bike being used what it was made for. That engine has a lot more life in it yet!

Beating me...

I did 20K in my first 4 years...
Done 4K in the past nine months...

Decided that I didn't want to service the bike on a monthly basis so don't use it for work...

Well done though

I always thought they did more than that at the services... May not take the bike for service after all then...

Must admit I also cycle to keep fit... (Not the whole way obviously ) Would love to ride everyday though. Way more fun...

Well there is carb balancing.. brake fluid changes/topup. Water top up.. bits of cleanup and tightening here and there, spark plugs to check, cables to oil. But I tend to notice them myself and replace when needed.
