Took the steamer out for its first blast, what a joy to ride, the engine has loads of bottom end torque and pulls from 60 to 1** easy with no wobbles or shakes.

There are a few small faults that need addressing but there is time for that later. The bike has according the old mot's certs only done 6000 miles in the last ten years ! this probably explains the state of the front brake discs, they dont work very well at the moment. nono
