Just come back from a ride on the 3 1/2, 40 miles or so, fuel level had hardly dropped

Think they do something like 65 ish to the gallon.

Still trying to get used to riding it like a 2 stroke which everyone says you should, 8K for a puchrod twin just does not seem right, but rev it and it certainly delivers the goods.

Just ordered 2 seal kits for the rear shocks as one has a leak - only place you can get them is from a bloke in Italy - they are the original Marzocchi shocks and spares hard to get hold of.
