Thanks guys, Pleiades has been VERY patient with me on the photo posting!..and I agree Two wheeled Celt, the Ten is an all weather bike for sure, although I suspect Desert Racer above ( or should I say down below..) is enjoying some better weather!!. I can't wait till June when I load up the Ten and head off to West Cork! Across Salisbury plain, Severn Bridge, Black Mountains and on to Pembroke Dock for the Rosslare ferry!! I shouldn't tempt fate, and I'm sure Interceptor would have something to say about this, but for the last 5yrs I have had blue skies and sunshine in Ireland!! Steve
