Thanks for the welcomes.
Re. Brexit, I hadn't even thought about that coming in to play.
Regarding bikes for sale in the UK, I have contacted a couple of dealers advertising bikes in MCN. One seems not to be at all as described and another I am waiting a reply on. Locally, prices vary hugely and they are thin on the ground. I am wondering if a few more will come on the market when the 700 is finally available.
I welcome any ideas or suggestions...
