Thanks for the welcome. I am in Reading in Berkshire.

I am actually on my 4th Bird. My mileage used to be 50,000 + miles a year and all of them did over 150,000 from new. Now my mileage had dropped substantially, hoepfully the mileage on the clock will stay lower    But yes, great bike, suits me perfectly, but then I am 6'5" tall

that's a lot of miles on bikes, I guess you know them inside out now.

I have done a few miles over the years.    The last calculation showed that I had done something close to 1.5 million miles over nearly 40 years of riding.

But most of those miles have been in a professional capacity rather than leisure miles
