Ten years on

Thankfully the snow has melted and I have been able to get some photos of the old girl approaching ten years old. I haven't been into many "upgrades" as I prefer to keep the bike close to original.

Any ways after a bit of a spruce up over winter, here is a little Spot the Difference contest .......

Corrosion on the engine bolts. Have you been using Mucoff?

Yes sadly some of the bolt heads are showing signs of corrosion when you get close up, I 'll have to work some more on them - or replace them ?

A few things have been replaced along the way, new for old.

Hey don't knock it. That jacket was mine when I was nineteen, it was the only one we had which didn't swamp Nikki when she was 10, and at 20 it fits Nikki much better.

If I lose a little more weight with my cycling this summer I might even get to wear it again. Waste not want not.

Alas the Daytonas are new, or at least were replaced in 2008.

No centre stand in any of the images in front of the garage but present in both piccies with rider and pillion?

Lovely, well looked after bike mind.
