lol!! I've racked up 3000 miles on the MT since i've owned it Smile The bmw has just sat in the garage doing nothing. This little thing is the most fun i've had on two wheels. The flames and bangs are a added bonus as well thumbs Got to enjoy the weather while we still can aye!

Didn't you have locking nuts on the spindle? last lot i had were made from skateboard wheels, threaded bar and two locking nuts.

Tax expires on my Speedy today but seriously thinking of retaxing. Weather is ridiculous, and tomorrow in particular looks good. Think I'll be finished work by 12 too. Very Happy

noticed today when cleaning the bike ,that is started to get a few marks here and there (don't think you would notice) ,But suppose its going to with the miles I am doing , and that was my idea to use this bike and get the pleasure from it rather than selling it and someone else getting the pleasure form a bike with low miles on it , Just hard to see these little bits happening

It occurred to me today that I've kept that Speedy pretty good for a year and a half, but I've not done 2,000 miles on it in that time. Thinking of setting it up next year to do one or two longer trips on, and accept knocking the shine off it a bit. Smile

These motors are too big to kill. Lots of ZZRs well past 100k, even 150k. Mine's done 70k and doesn't feel any different in performance terms. Did read about a dispatcher whose VFR has done 800k Shocked
