Yes, the new one, was going to be my first ride on it since getting it home 😕.
Mind you still not beaten a mate who bought a Laverda with open carbs, ordered mesh guards for it when he picked it up but didn't even manage to get home before a stone wrecked the engine.

Condolences.

All the dealers here shut up shop over the past few years: Kaw, Yam, Suz, Honda, KTM, Polaris/CanAm

oh wait, forgot about the HD dealer, about 2 miles away.

Suzuki / Kawasaki / KTM is the other side of Ipswich, Yamaha / Piaggio is at Stowmarket, so we're fairly well sorted for dealers, I don't think theres much in Bury these days, just Krazy Horse, and I doubt if they actually sell any bikes, it's more about the cafe and clothes sales.

And it’s one of the components that have improved in recent years (could be getting into decades) too.

Maybe not on Italian bikes?

Good pic that. I'd crop it vertically from the tree behind the rear wheel and horizontally close to the front wheel. Be even betterer.

Like that? I have added a filter from my Pixel Pro. I am away with only my phone and old lady eyesight. I will have a proper look at home on the big screen.

I'd leave the part in front of the bike as it was originally and take it up to the bottom of the front wheel horizontally. Just how I'd like it,the shot is cool anyway. :thumbup:
