Farewell Edna!

And thus she is sold. I will fondly remember the 3000 odd miles and 4 months we spent together. She never let me down. Used and abused daily. My teeth still rattle from her (throaty) purr. Thank you Edna for giving me the gift of passing my test.


Midnight maintenance after work.

Seeing if she could handle the tent.

Ready for journey to work.

Cafe racer bars made her faster don't you know.

The lassy having a play before going pillion for first time.

Warming her up for her final journey away.

Gertrude

Went to see and fell in love with a beautiful 1980 GS550. Huge, heavy and loud. She's great!

Only rode for 3 days before snow settled in so fitted the alarm and array of locks, lathered her in ACF50 and put her under cover. Needs a bit of carb adjustment and some fresh fuel when I get back on and she's good to go. Some pictures to feast on.
