Not good Bud, but it's got to be a record for how long anything wheeled has survived in your care*?

Re: Two wheels good.
To revive this thread...
I had a coddiwomple around the Dales again today.
The view across an Army firing range
Lunch in The Kings Arms, Reeth
Crowded roads
You can tell it's summer as I took my jacket off to sit by the fire at the Tan Hill Inn.
And this happened on the way back
Which means with just pleasure use I've done 4k since 30th April & 14,032 since this day last year. Oh & it's due a service again.

Re: Two wheels good.
The moped club has gained 2 more members.
My brother has bought a Yamaha MS50 and another mate has bought a Jawa Freewheeler.
My brother sold his RM 80 to buy his and the fella with the Jawa owns 3 Ducatis.
The chap with the Honda express rides an R1 or Triumph 675 normally.
This may be getting out of hand.

Re: Two wheels good.
A spotty 16 year old me would be drooling at the prospect of road registering the RM80 as a 50......

Re: Two wheels good.
132k service done tonight. As I took the cam cover off to sort a tiny oil weep I checked the valve clearances, still identical to when I first looked at 15k. Balanced the throttles too so she's smooth again and washed her.
Now as it's sunny I've put her away because I want food more than a short rideout.

Re: Two wheels good.
I think I'm going to have to buy another bike, this pcp thing is great and all I do is put fuel in it and tyres every 3k but I've not done anything meaningful in the garage now for a few years, tempted to buy a shitty SV650 and make a track bike out of it or something, anything to get me out of having to talk to the missus and sit through coronation street.
