Serviced as its close to 2000km (1789 atm)which it will probably hit over Christmas, and coated with ACF50 (or equivalent)

Possibly new Tyres ready to be fitted in the summer months.

Wow I literally started my biking career on one of these...wearing a raincoat, trainers, ill-fitting gloves and an open face lid

My Triumph is getting a set of 2 inch bar risers.
Is it not upright enough Tinky?

Olie,

It's fine. In fact more comfy than I hoped for. But the two inch bar risers will mean I can stand up on it without having to lean forward and the sitting riding position is just a little more relaxed which makes long journeys even more comfy.

BTW the cruise control is brilliant for long runs and speed control areas.

Mine has just had a new exhaust and brand new bulbs for the speedo and rev counter, might treat it to a full service :)

A quick shift and mcguiness screen is on order and I'm collecting some very good rubber to be fitted in time for Jerez

Potentially some adjustable Rox risers for the BMW, they allow you to set the angle of the bars better, nice for standing up if/when the time comes - cool looking things;
