Only wish that the destination was better than work. But she is still running like a dream.

I’m impressed! Great bike.
A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

Can't take all the credit my contribution is 36000. But it's all about bike.

That's excellent in any vehicle.  I wonder what the engine's history is- second timing belt done, valve clearances checked?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Unsure on both Biggles asked about the timing belt a few months after I picked it up and the shop wasn't sure but told me the bloke who owned it before me really looked after it.

Second belt wouldn't be due until 300,000 though inspection at 250,000 would fall in line with doing the same at 100,000 on the original belt.

Of course the above is only true if the belt was changed at the recommended 150,000 km in the first place.

250,000 kilometres! What a great milestone for any bike.  :clap  I think that the important thing is to just ride it as much as possible. Unused, older bikes deteriorate very, very quickly.
