She's here. I've scrubbed in the tires and used a tank of fuel.


Never going to be this clean again  ;D ;D

52L top box has been ordered. The small top case is for when we do day trips.


I should change the plate to P2HAR  ;D

Tis a shame the Jag is not permanent. It's an awesome car.


Really like the Africa Twin. Took it out for a blat this afternoon. Felt the urge for an ice cream from a shop 50 kms from home on the other side of a big hill. The bike is a lot of fun in the corners  VCIF_ThumbUp
