A quick update is required for the old Beasty from Bologna...
She had a fall this week, due to pilot and driver error. Muddy gravel covered road and a car driver scared of a bus! Luckily, the crash bungs took the brunt of the impact (my left bum cheek and right leg!). She suffered a broken bar end mirror, bent brake lever and also picked up a battle scar, a small dent to the tank.
All my worst fears went through my head before I got a look at her in daylight. She's had it, no more Nessie, but she proved she is a tough old Monster!
A quick ten minutes to clean off the grease, fuel and road crap she picked up, the spare bar end mirror fitted (I always seem to have spares of these......) and apart from requiring a lever, she is back in full shouting and working order!
As the great quote from The Life of Brian goes "You lucky lucky bas***d!!!"

And I've just noticed!! A bit more of an update, the front stock indicators have finally been ditched for a set of Oberon LED flashy things! And now I can't think of anything else to buy, apart from a brake lever.
