I put eighty miles on it today ( once I'd realised it was handling shite because the rear tyre was low so banged it up to 42 psi, front was down to 20 so upped that to 36) to Watton and back to look at some nice triumphs in lings. It's on it's second tank of super unleaded now after so many years of not being used and as I got to Watton, the tickover had gone up to 2000, a good sign that the pilot jets are clearing. Thumbed it back down with the handy Idle adjust by my left knee, another twenty miles it had crept up again so adjusted again when I stopped for a cuppa. Back on the bike heading home carburettor is spot on now, and pulls from 1500 in top on greasy cold roads nice and strong. As you say mate, a really comfy riding position and very protective fairing made for a cracking ride home, I'm honestly tempted to keep it if the bloke changes his mind. That lump that seemed so wild back when I had mine in 1990 is still a good un, and winding along it took me right back to riding my old one all them years ago. Nostalgia is a very strong drug, but unlike a lot of other "classics" this one still is all the bike I'd need should I have to flog me others. Saying that, it used to piss me off having a 18" back wheel back then, it still would now I guess..
