      I had to stop at Ulswater as I was getting clunking sound from the front. Tightened the wheelnuts and all was OK......oops.

      Then stopped after about 100 miles in a garage when someone pointed out my exhaust had come off all three mountings.....it ran the rest of the tour on one strained mount...lol

            i also ran out of grip at the same point as well as talent, nearly got a 360 out of it which would have been heroic.... however 270 and a stall was my lot..... no pics tho as my misses had her eyes closed so couldnt point the camera!

                      Very.

                      No real issues all weekend. Windscreen has a slight leak & the wiper needed adjusting. That was it.

                              lost three wheel nuts off N/S/R wheel, Cam is knocking a little louder now

                              all in very impressed due to the amount of abuse we gave the poor girl...
