Beautiful bike. I too would have difficulty letting go of her!

Here are the pictures from the Cars and Coffee meet last night.

I think the stars of the show were the Skoda Octavia, AJS clubman, obviously my Rockabilly scoot with the sighwriting and completely original (paint an all) Beezer tripple... What a sound! (although a bit too new for my taiste)

Went for a spin today and apart from a couple of issues I am actualy quite impressed by the way it handles.

Its smooth, has good torque, sounds fantastic and handeling wise not very far off a modern bike. It corners nicely and the weight seems to vanish as soon as the wheels are rolling.

Front brake is ,err doing something but rear brake is a propper anchor.

When I sort my carb out (discused on the engine forum) I think its going to be a joy to ride on the hilly twisty roads I like to ride on. Ohh.. the seat is comfier than my sofa! Fantastic.

I've always said the A7/10 swing arm frame is just as good as a featherbed.
