Hello. Due to to health conditions I am forced to sell my beloved bike.

Bike have added few bits and pieces to make it more comfortable and user friendly: Heated grips, USB charging socket 4x, voltimeter, cigarette light plug, optimizer plug, adjustable windscreen mount, gear indicator. It has few mods to make it better bike: Upgraded rear shock (Fully adjustable Nitron R2 worth almost £1000), upgraded front fork (gold valves), fork brace, scottoiler, 2x scorpion exhaust, Tyres are Michelin Anakee Adventure which still have some life (front is OK, rear a bit squared from motorway riding), oil change done 2000miles ago so still OK for 3000miles. Bike starts no problem, it is ready for riding.

So,you are keeping it. Good man, if you sold your pride and joy you would miss it forever. At least now it will be there to look at when you open the garage and on a good day you can pull it out for a bit of pampering.  :thumb:

They don't even want to steal it from my drive where it sits since 2017, used everyday though. I don't have garage. For a difference, my neighbour opposite street got his bike stolen about year ago

Nobody wants Strom, looks like I am convicted to have it
:grin:

Regarding my health it is my knees which are killing me. I can still ride but it is only getting worse...

I am happy to say that my knees improved and they are not too bad now. Almost no pain. Glucosamine tablets helped a lot. I am happy that I didn't have chance to sell the bike :) It will stay with me for another while.
