And back to 6 bikes again......

 

That is very cool little bike, Dutchy, and has very '80's styling.

Got the Dutch plate and with the torrential rains stopped, added the 1st 180 or so km's to the tachometer.

 

Bit nippy 8C°

Note to self....

 

 

Donot go off roading with a (what turned out to be a dodgy) topcase and take a speedbump at speed...

 

Heard a noise and saw it tumble and skid in the rearview mirror...

Took the F2 of commuting duty, bringing her back to OEM for an impending sell. Deep clense, remove rack and some decals.

With the Morini not finished yet, redslut 2.0 is called into action 🙂

Sorry to hear that the VF is going to go. Are you trying to reduce the size of your garage?

Nah... just to look for another "numbah 6" :tongue:

 

 

Flying out next Sunday to SFO.

Our son will look after our house, so my bikes are secure.

Have fun Dutchy! I think Rt. 120 into Yosemite is still closed, you may have to take 140 aka El Portal into the park, a bit further south. Lots of water this year from the record snowpack, and some minor Merced River flooding, but spectacular waterfalls.

 

You're going to have a good time, enjoy.
