Service Time

-
Since I became a fair weather biker (and more of a motorcycle owning but mostly non-rider biker) I have yet to get to the 10000 miles service limit.

So once again, Pepé is booked into Laguna Triumph to have the Annual Service done.  It's October 19th and so by then I might have added a few more miles to the odometer but it will still be less than 10000! Since I bought the bike just over four years ago I have only managed an average of 2000 miles a year.  

It is all made worse in that my brother (https://ndtea.blogspot.com/) is off again on another trip on his BMW.  This one trip will be more than my entire year's mileage.

Of course, there are different reasons for this but there you go.  It is what it is.

Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
