Nearing 600 miles to get the first service done. Took the lovely road up from Cirencester to Bibury to Burford. It’s a great road, usually with very little traffic :)

Hey guys ... Hope you and yours are well and safe.

Recent Cardiff to Manchester return trip on my 125cc - 7hrs one way with regular stops. Need to add some latex to the seat, shape diy windshield and get bar risers for next long trip.

A483 through mid-Wales is awesome. A49 through England is pretty good as well.

I’d like to say yes, but I do change my bikes pretty regularly.
It does have potential for a long term bike. Very comfortable, good economy and decent tank for a long range.

Another big ride on my small bike today 😁
200 miles round the the Highlands, mainly to check out the handlebar muffs. Got used to them quite quickly. Should solve the cold hand problem this winter.

274 miles dispatched with ease today on my Forza 125.
Comfortable, economical (still getting 120mpg), able to get a weeks worth of clothes under the seat, and cruises at 60mph. What more can you ask for?
