Hi Nathan. Knew you couldn't stay away!
Decided to go ahead with the rebuild anyway.
It's a bit lighter than it was this morning.

how are you getting on with the bmw?

I picked up a honda pc800 pacific coast as a replacement, fantastic storage and a much better pillion seat. Unfortunately it was underpowered and very bland. So changed it for a cbr600! Which, oddly enough is a superb long distance motorway cruiser, economical too. Just have to travel light!
