A Run Down To Cornwall
Went to Cornwall to deposit best mate's ashes in this remote beach. 635 miles round trip,mostly fast dual carriageway. Niner didn't miss a beat and my bum was cosetted by Ramo's super comfy seat.

The z750 who was with me used more fuel than me and had sore knees, but I was still doing 225 to the tank. He kept running out at around 145 miles.

A bit of rain but mostly fair weather.

I couldn't ask more of a bike that costs next to nothing to run.
Nice one LH , a good send off I hope

Yes his helmet and gloves went with us.
Plus he got a fag and a bottle of Tribute poured on so he didn't arrive in heaven sober.
