" WHAT A BIKE "

"The Best Bike By Far" well that's what  I think, did 42,000km's. Used 3 Sets of Tyres, only mechanical problems on route. Front  fork seal going,  speedo cable, then the draft shaft  bearing collapsing in Mexico.
She had 3 falls, two with me on her, one by herself.
First one in the Andres, very rocky river crossing, stupid, me,  wrong gear, stalled and over she went, no damage to bike
Second one: stopped for coffee break, parked on side stand on a rock, soft ground and over she went, broke left-hand side  indicator glass and two bents in tank.
Third one: Yellowstone National Park, caught in snow storm, ice on road and down I went, no damage to bike.
Talking about the bents on my bike, day before I left for the Africa Adventure, I loaded her and over she went putting bents into the right-hand side of the tank, now on the American trip I put bents on to the left-hand side  to equal it out.
