Great new Chris. How many miles are on the old girl now? I only ask because the year before last I only put 39 miles on the SP. The Guy in the shop accused me of just riding it up to the garage, getting an MOT , riding it home again and not using it again until the next MOT :lol:
Managed a few more last summer though :D
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
