I was on verge coming back from John o Groats suddenly there was a tight bend wasn't ready for .So either lost concentration or was on verge of nodding off .Battling the wind today was tiring must admit .I couldn't have done another 200 miles to get home .

That's the trouble with you, Julian, you just took us for granted :lol:

What a brilliant trip, fantastic views and great company. The Fusion's getting on a bit now but I really shouldn't have doubted it. There were a few issues (snapped speedo cable, duff thermostat & an oil leak resulting from a previous owner's bodgery) but nothing that was going to stop us getting home.

Nice run back from Carlisle today in the rain Vespa has ran well due to having a careful owner coaxing it a along treating it with the respect it deserves
