Looking forward to it, been fixing the car today, after it boiling up in heavy traffic caused by the Dartford Tunnel tolls. The fan was seized, the fuse blew and now hopefully all is fixed. The bruises should heal by Thursday.
Weather forecast should mean an early start and I should be at the Lymm M6 services on time.

Why not come up on my Innova. What do you think of the Deauville? I've got a new 700, but many consider the 650 a better bike.
My agent JP will be negotiating a deal for me.

funny you should say that dave, I find the 650 slightly better than the 700 I had 2 years ago, the engine is definatly smoother, and quieter, ( my 650 has done 36,000 miles). Also the bike I feel has better build quality, but I suppose all new machines are going slightly down hill on build, thats why I bought one of the last innovas instead of the wave. Talking of which yours is wrapped up in my garage , smelling of acf-50, 600 mile service done last week, with a puig screen fitted. ;) :D
