Will do bud. Test rode a 2012 990 yesterday but couldnt quite strech to what they wanted, so seen this one on e bay phoned they guy up had a chat. Then I walked the dogs had a beer whilst I decided what to do n phoned him back saying I want it. FSH with 11k on the clock, should be good I hope. Just hope it warms up before I pick it up as its over 4hrs up the road n its -1C at the mo with snow inbound for today. Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Picked it up a month or two ago now, and have been getting used to it. Rode it home in freezing conditions, the ice (?) warning light being on for my 4 hr journey, snow showers etc. First impressions are wow, wow and wow!! Sounds superb (WINGS) and handles better on the road than something with a 21 inch front wheel should (Better now I have sorted the suspension out front preload was set differently on each fork). Not done much long distance work on it yet but cant wait. I have scratched, commuted, green lane'd it and done a camping weekend, all passed with flying colours. Its not as difficult to work on as some would have you believe. Cant wait for the summer to begin, bring it on!!
