    My first ride since July 2014, ok it was only up the road to the mot station but still felt good :D
    May be a bit early for a big ride for me as knee is a bit tight still but at least the bike is insured and will (hopefully) be mot'd for when I'm ready.
    I do get se funny looks getting of the bike and unfolding crutches though lol

    Just been reading about your leg from 10 years ago, ouch, same as Sam last year, ouch there too.

    Glad you are out and about and I hope this summer is a happy and uneventful one out on the bike :)

    Great news mate! The only issue you will have is which one of your collection to climb on first

    Yea didn't really open her up much but still felt fast.
    Think it may still be a bit early for any riding but I'm happy it's ready when I feel like I'm up for it now

    Great news Martin, so the bikes ready and now it's down to you. I can only hazard a guess as to what the re-modifications where when you got it back home....... Do they start with Num--- Pl-te. I'm lucky now, I have three years before I need to do it again.

    Catch you at Loomies soon no doubt.
