Well it's actually not so new but with the Covid 19 lockdown today was the first time I've used it in 8 months.
Seduced last September by 500 quid off and 500 quids worth of free farkles and 2% PCP I thought why not. I needed a new bike for a big trip to Greece & Turkey with my pensioner pals in May 2020 so I sold my nc700x for 2 grand, ok that's the deposit.
Like getting a new bike for nothing.
Had a wee run around in September then put it away for the winter lol.
Anyway the trip never happened and it's just sat in the garage. On the plus side it started first time this morning and I had a lovely day today doing about 250 miles.
So there you go my new scooter is off the road and my new V Strom is on the road for the rest of 2020.
Happy days 🏍️🏍️🏍️

Nice, been seriously considering an XT seeing as they are currently on 4yr 0% finance.

Though the new 1050 really floats my boat too.
