New toy!


I'm pleased to announce the arrival of an elderly Honda CX500 which will eventually replace the scooter when the weather improves a bit. Having only done 400 odd miles in the last eight years, the fifty it did yesterday must have been a bit of a surprise! Despite a couple of squeaks from the brakes and the merest hint of a backfire in the middle of Kenilworth it performed admirably. It will need some luggage and possibly a fairing before next winter and a tiny bit of tidying up.
