Ok, keep me in the loop

Its sad but true that there are always plenty of people around who would happily shop someone in order to get even with them or win some petty battle. But what kind of police force would think it a good idea to build its enforcement on that kind of behaviour?

April for me is already booked up to the 24th.

Must have been the little people!

Might help if you say which area of London you're based in.

Yamaha Virago is another to add to your list. Or this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202108316815483?advertising-location=at_bikes looks like a real cracker

One trick I was told about when I was starting out is to make a conscious effort every now and then to relax your shoulders and arms. I was amazed how tense I could get, and it made a lot of different to ride with my shoulders and back more loosened up.

I thought it was "goods vehicles could be abducted by aliens". Wrong again.

There's a 125 shadow. Stopped making them in 2009, but still plenty around I think.

Yup that's the one.

Ok, but I guess you're expecting the "why not buy a secondhand Jap bike instead?" thing, so here it is: why not buy a Honda Shadow? You'll not regret it.

... you need to click on the pics; in the post they've compressed to fuzz

Very nice ride MB. I took a day off work to celebrate the good weather Hazelwood marshes, looking east toward Orford Ness.
