Saw one aged 16/17. Picked my jaw up, dried my underwear and drooled a bit more. Took me 32 years to get one.

Frequently. I’m an independent midwife and currently have 2 clients in Essex. One is in SS5 and the other near southminster. So at the moment I’m often over that way.

Thank you for this. Will be my winter project.

Don’t say that. Mine’s going on as we speak…

I’ve just put blue spots on mine. Really pleased.

I put them through the bead blaster to get the same finish as the wheels. Bloody love this bike.

There have been some moments. I don't recommend hurtling up a steep gravel incline in the early hours on a GPZ900. It was okay getting up there but the ride down (directly onto a busy main road) wasn't fun. Went to do an antenatal visit yesterday and as I was leaving, the client's husband...
