I will get some pics of my strom shortly,  but here's one of my other bikes, I built it a few years back and the handling is sublime, ( Briz frame).
Briz of CCD (and NCC) knows what he's doing. Very skilled man.

This is my K7 08 Vee awaiting my collection from the dealers. With living in York it has been a rather damp December/January so far so it can stay nice and cozy there until maybe march!!!
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

After yesterday's cancelled run to Ipswich to collect my new Glee the weather today allowed me to get there and ride back and stay dry.
Roads were bone dry in Suffolk but as soon as crossed border into Norfolk the salting from last night had kept them damp so a bit of cleaning to do so I can do a coat of FS365 to keep things nice.

MartinW I've done it again getting the photo facing the wrong way, could you adjust it again for me please. Before I try again I'll make sure my son is home as he speaks computer!

Hi there,  You asked for photos.  I rode round North America on this baby last summer, 15,000 miles in six weeks, fell off twice - onto the same shoulder! Consistent or what. This is us on our way South.  Off to Africa in a couple of weeks.  Wish me luck!  I shouldn't say this but the high point of the trip was overtaking a bunch of GS's on wet dirt and gravel.  That's where I find the DL shines.  And the friction cruise control made an h... of a difference too.
