Hi again Derek. Nice to talk to a 'real' motorcyclist. 110,000 miles is well impressive. I managed 60,000+ on a Kawasaki KZ400, then sold it to a workmate for £100, who never stopped moaning about it. Never again. But like you, life has taken over and I don't ride my bike nearly as much as I would like to, but we live in hope.
I get a bit fed up with the fastest bike, latest leathers brigade, who fly past you at warp speed, only to be in your way when the twisty bits come along and you have to lean it over a bit to get round the bends, and God forbid that they should get their bike and leathers wet.
The NTV always struck me as a really well thought out machine. Compact and practical.
I was a courier in London for a number of years and quite a few were used in that job, although I never actually got to ride one.
Would it be possible for me to purchase a copy of both of the pictures you have posted of Avonbank. I would like a nice picture of her and my printer isn't very good.
Regards, John Cutts.
