Showed it the outside world for the first time this year and took it for a 100 mile ride into the East Neuk of Fife and home via visiting my granddaughter.
Everything seems to be working well after doing the annual service.
I even got bright sunshine

Quality....:-)
I forgot to mention that they do also sell, milk, bread, eggs, and of course tea and coffee. A very convenient cafe in there too

"Open day" drew, they changed location then, could certainly do with a bigger shop and they do have some bargains.
Edit.... I see they moved and have 2 floors now, brilliant as the nearest shop like it for us is J&S over in Northwich.

Rode the '92 on a longer trip for the first time. A little over 160 miles. Never missed a beat. Running a bit lean, may need to raise the needle a one notch. Otherwise, flawless. The most comfortable bike I've ever owned.

there's also a smaller J&S on the way from the M62 10 mins from there, so twice the choice in Preston.
