gravelrash 0 Posted March 27, 2014 Just been to take the Bandit for its MOT this morning and while I was in there got chatting to a lady customer who was really into bikes went to the TT every year and attended bsb's and moto gp she had done many track days and had a wealth of knowledge about racers past and present. Her daughter had a cbr600, her son had an Apprilia Mille and husband a bmw. She had to get rid of her Ducati monster because her hip was giving out so was in getting her Scott motorcycle looked at, the really amazing thing is she was 65 after she left I mentioned it to Greg the garage owner who confirmed everything she had said all I can say is big respect to a lovely lady with a passion for all things motorcycling who I hope will continue to ride for many more years to come! ( Oh! the Bandit passed with flying colours ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gravelrash 0 Posted March 27, 2014 It did look like this Alan, but I will ask Greg next time I see him cos I wasn't sure and felt a bit embarrassed that she knew more about bikes than me especially classics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the state of the shifts I'm doing lately Mark I'll be happy just to be alive at 65 let alone riding a bike but on a brighter note the new Bandit seat is bl**dy comfy!
