Nice one John

I think you might remember one of these Colin. Hope you’re keeping well.

Did you buy that from Steve?

 

[F750GS]

Did you buy that from Steve?

Yes, then sold it to a guy called Tim, then took it back off Tim as a PX for a modern GSA.

Excellent. You’re making me homesick for our adopted home. Me and Mrs hatter used to to live in VA and visit WV regularly, you have some great country roads out there

 

[Mad Hatter]

Used to have an airhead there too, but not a beemer

 

[Clifton]

Where about in VA? As you can see the roads in Preston County WV are in pretty sad condition, the paved one pictured I drive on every day should have been resurfaced 10 years ago. But there are some nice ones too.
That Gutzi looks like new, Hatter! I like Guzzi's and have owned a few over the years, currently a V85TT which is essentially a modern R100GS.

We were in Alexandria. Many happy memories of our time in the US

Right there prosperous northern Virginia. I have family there, LOL it's a 4 hour drive from here but looks and feels like 8 hours distant. I'm glad you did!

R80g/s outfit by Hedingham. Needs a bit of fettling ( i.e. gearbox and a clutch ) full service etc etc but will enjoy the challenge !

Added this to my stable last week. R80R with 17,500 miles on her. Also now fitted with an Ohlins goodie

Totally standard. Nowhere else to put it, that I've seen. Put 2 tankfulls under her wheels yesterday. Off again today, already fuelled with that Esso 99+ petrol. Leading a ride, two routes planned depending on who turns up. Starts in Stafford.
1. Cannock Chase to Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth back to Stafford.
2. Sandon, Hilderstone, Cheadle, Oakamoor, Ipstones, Morridge, Longnor, Warslow, Wetton, Grindon, Ellastone, Denstone, Alton, Dimminsdale back through Cheadle to the start.

Both about 120 miles. So 1 full tank for any bike really.

Oh I do like that!

 

[King Rat]

So do I, now. I've been doing exercise and muscle work. For a couple of years I haven't been able to get her on and off the stand without help. Now I'm stronger and fitter and a little pointer on the technique it is quite easy and I love the way she rides. Quite zippy for an old plank!

 

[gebrauchtwagen83]

Cleaned and polished her
