Yes, but you figured out the other night that despite not getting on a bike until June this year, and quitting riding at the beginning of Dex you had done somewhere between 24k and 25k miles.......

Too much. Bought a new Vn900 for £5,500, sold it for £4,000, bought a new SV with the money. Insurance, petrol, blah blah blah.

Lots! But it's worth it.

Yep, it's true, she burns about 0.5l of fully synthetic every 500 miles ish @ £10/litre. Unfortunatley I file this under the "they all do that sir" category
