Reluctantly I'm selling the old girl, there's just not the room or the riding time for 2 now. Plus the geometry makes my dicky hip hurt, so I'm sticking with the more upright KTM. Been a fab 20-odd years with the denizens of this parish, and I shall really miss her.
All the details and pics on the Facebook listing, let me know if you can't access it.

That's it, she's gawwn. Sad day, but I've had 21 years of great memories with her. Had one last ride to drop her off to the new owner, who I hope will enjoy the old girl.
