Keith, Not for a minute did I think you were taking the 'Mickey',
I will get around to posting something, I will be going to the Ace Saturday, which will be its first ride since the first service, it is a good easy bike to live with, everything is easy to get at, I've put on Sat-nav, screen, gaitors, mudflaps, top box, which all help to slow it down, I could not reach 30 mph going over the Queen Elizabeth bridge when running in, the engine seemed very tight to me,
Why there are not more bikes with 8'' rear fat tyres I don't know, Pot holes I just ride over them, every time I go out I just have to get it dirty.
I will be trying to get it into the Berlingo soon, I brought a motocross ramp, which is foldable, like a step ladder which should help, but it is very light, I can pick the back up and turn it around,
I think you know Nick Staib, that is on the Suzukivanvan.co.uk site. Plenty of good stuff on that site.
The vanvan would be to small for you I think, although Nick is a 6 footer.
Regards
Dave
