    yep, original build, fair few miles, some parts still in working order.
    That's ME, not the bike.
    The bike is just a near new 150 commuter, you know "just something to get to work and back on," and of course once back on a bike after a few years away, start going "hmmm maybe a 250 for longer rides," and then a 400 twin can be fun, and then.... Here we go again.
    But it's good to be back on two wheels, any two wheels, and when the wife says " I've paid off the credit card and loan, I think you need to get a bike," you just jump in.
    Not having ridden for years, and driving for a living, I found I had stiffened up. Wrists, ankles in particular. But after some home physio and bucket loads of glucosamine by the third ride... There was that feeling again. You know?
    Yeah... You know. Otherwise you'd not be here.

    Greetings all from the misty Blue Mountains of NSW

    BF
