Win win for me now I'll be using the bike to go to work for the foreseeable as the jag is out of mot ad it needs both intake manifolds replaced which is a pig of a job Expand so you have taken it off sorn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done about 1300 miles on it this year which whilst not all that much it doesn't matter, I've been spending time with my family because I'm away pretty much all week and skye wants to spend all the time possible with me so I can't deny her that just so I can go out on the bike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
