    Freddie love your stuff - my wife loves you!! Not sure when you were in Scotland but I did the NC 500 for 10 days starting 4th June to
    And from the Cotswolds wait for it…..on a 35 year old YB100cc that has done 32000 miles on the original engine. Oh and I’m a 23 stone 70 year old!! I’m currently editing videos the first one comes out tomorrow. Weather for me was fantastic!

    After my brother 'gave' me his almost new KZ900, he bought this.
    Back then, it seemed soooo smooth to ride. And, sooo futuristic.
    Yeah, I would believe, if asked back then, if it'd do 100k miles, absolutely.
    Thank you Freddie!
    Oh, my brother let me take this out one late night (as an older brother would, he threatened my life if anything happened while I was riding this! Lol, well, something did but I didn't tell him until years later, 😮).
    Like I said, late evening, wee small hours of the morning, I was the only one on a very wide and long and dark freeway, when I decided to test this thing, see what it felt like to go over 100 miles an hour on a bike.
    I was watching the Speedo climb over 100 and something, when I noticed I wasn't the only one on the freeway. What caught my attention, was red and blue flashing lights all around me, or so it seemed, I looked over my shoulder, about knocked me off the bike from the scare, was a motorcycle Highway Patrol. He was right on my shoulder!
    Man, I haven't thought about that for I don't know how long, sorry for all the comments Freddie.
