This weekend I was supposed to be driving to Italy, unfortunately the company that wanted us to pick stuff up from their suppliers gave us the go ahead too late, it would have been 2 drivers in a LWB Sprinter with a hotel in Italy for one night & a drive through Switzerland. 1,000 miles each way, but I have been assured it will come on again, instead I have my usual drive to Erith & tomorrow is my day off, so after a trip to the dentist I will have a bike out for a ride (even if it's raining!)

Very satisfactory day stripping H2 bodywork back to bare metal. Originaly brown! Nice working with all metal parts and nice to see the back of the american custom paint job! (although the quality was actually very good)

Gutted for you mate it's strange because I had one on a Z1b last year and that was my first puncture on a bike for thirty years also,
let's hope it's another thirty years and were still riding before we get another one
