A great bike and a bargain at the price you got it at !! As I said if you hadn't got in first I would have bought it LOL

This bike featured in the Motorworks calendar , I did include a copy when I originally sold the bike , did you get it with the paperwork when you bought it ?

Was this pic with a shorter side stand fitted John? I noticed the bike is very straight when on the stand (not much lean and not much stability) which was similar to my last xcountry, but theres a block under the one in your pic?
Cheers
