The Address - first impressions

I picked it up this morning and rode the long way home along the Cornish north coast.

Never having rode a "twist and go" scooter before it was quite an experience, but I soon got used to it. Things to remember:-

Address - running in

I followed the manufacturers instructions for running in the Himalayan and it was very tedious. Below is Suzuki's recommended procedure for running in.

The Address - Why?

History

SO - I came to Cornwall with two motorbikes which had stood unused and decaying away in the garage in Scotland for over 10 years. The Honda Deauville would not start (with an external car battery of course) so it was pushed into the van. The BMW R65LS started straight away and I rode it into the van.

Himalayan - Second thoughts

We are still in the middle of the Coronavirus lockdown and my thoughts are turning to my future motorcycling.

The Himmie is a good bike, and it is new.  My other bike, my BMW R65LS is also a good bike, but is not new.  It is now thirty six years old. I have had it for twenty seven years. Do I need two bikes?

No I don't need more than one bike. Actually I don't need any bikes at all. But I do like motorcycling.
