missed the bit about the rear brake and the gear lever being on the opposite sides to what he was used to,

I actually rode my bike last weekend for the first time since September, forecast looks ok tomorrow and there's no salt about so I might even go out again tomorrow, whatever next me riding in winter.

Re: Two wheels good.
I've put my CB750F and GS650GT for sale on Facebook.
The CB was covered in pigeon shit, so time for a wash.
