New neighbour has changed his bike (it appears that he & I suffer the same “changeyerbikealot” condition.

So this afternoon, seeing as the weather was on our side (actually been raining a good bit up here) we just had to head out and roll some miles under his new-to-him steeds wheels

This is us parked up waiting for our valet to pop out with our tea . . .

Final picture of what looks to be a B&W photo of some far off nebular taken from the latest space based 10billion dollar camera . . . but is just some river smeg swirling around below the bridge parapit

Looking good Bob. Nice looking bike that.
The petrol tank reminds me of a bike I had many years ago, think it was an AJS scrambler ( is what we used to call them then ;) ) Loved that bike.

I'm loving it so far John, much easier (for me) to handle than the T700 as I can almost flat-foot it. I shan't be taking it off-road though (perhaps the odd gravel road) as things are far too exposed on it and I don't want to try and turn it into something it isn't by adding sump guard, crash bars etc.

It's a great 'b' road blaster and back roads like above :thumbsupanim:

Got any photos of your old AJS ?

No don't think I have Bob, I'll check later but I don't think so.

Bit of a tragic end to the story. Sold it to a guy on the West coast. He rode it around some fields near his home without a helmet on. Crashed the bike and sadly lost his life.
I heard later his parents destroyed the bike :(

Oh that's sad. I had a RD250 many years ago, sold it to a mate who ended up under a bus and died. The police thought it was me as the log book hadn't been changed :(

Saw this Beastie at the Thunder in the glens last Sunday.

Not my cup of tea but you have to a) admire the engineering
b) admire the concept
Then ask yourself -- Why ????? :D:D

Very warm day, you could smell the melting leather chaps a mile away :respect13:
