And if you say "absolutely minted" then it must be so clean and shiney that you need  :cool: when you look at it

How many miles on the Versys now Geoff, and how's it doing ?

With all you girly boys putting your bikes away for the winter so early, this forum is going to be dead.

Mine will be in dry dock soon and the new Electric bike will be used.

Not as quick mind but cheaper to run.

Get it back out. It appears we're in for a really late Indian summer mid week.
