Theres a place in orpington called the Motorcycle Workshop. It's run out of a little lock up just off of erm whats it called that big main road where MFI is, 2 lanes each way...i'll dig it out. He did my second service. Cheaper than a main dealer, and he seems to always be pretty busy.

Randy O has Rictus pipped I think, IIRC he's over 105000. Both still clearly insane

We still use miles too. And they're the same size as your miles. Unlike our pints and gallons, which are bigger. |

sorry but why does high mileage = insane?
  to me it = high enjoyment of life and bike and loads of fun... hmmm unless its in a blizzard then its what I would call interesting...  but as I freely admit to my insanity as a 50k miles a year girl I suppose there must be a bit in there somewhere

SV retired now, 151,768 miles total in 2 years 8 months (yes that's before it ever went through an MOT
 Just for starters, high mileage = better value from your Tax / insurance. £188 divided by say 50,000 miles = 3.76 pence per mile £188 divided by 5,000 miles = 37.6 pence per mile See what I mean? Cheers Mark.
