Good work, you enjoy.
Having not ridden it for 30 years I had forgotten just how heavy and unwieldy these are. Just that routine of getting on and off and getting on the centre stand. Low speeds in greater London traffic. Heavy clutch, low bars and these are better than my old Mirage TS. Gosh I'm older I suppose, or is it just me? Now my classic Lambretta's are a Doddle.

30 years is a long gap - and the advancing years will certainly make the bike feel quite different from when you were more spritely. I've kept my fitness levels up over the years and hope that i can still ride with gusto and not too many aches and pains!
Another issue is that living in Greater London the speed limits are generally reduced to 20-30 MPH and a fair amount of traffic at peak times. This means that keeping this tall and heavy machine upright and moving forward requires focus. I am fairly fit.Today I'm going for an MOT/Bike Test. Weather in London currently super spring like.

I hate traffic and avoid it as much as possible, I also hate getting up early but I hate traffic way more than that. I live right in the centre of Sydney so early rises and quickly moving the 60 plus ks to riding roads is the way to do it. That's with my bike 100% more comfortable than std, higher bars, lower pegs, wider softer seat, much more compliant suspension, as well as possible vibration controls, light to use clutch and throttle, well setup ergonomics that suit me and a well functioning easy to use side stand. It's not supposed to be a torture device or made for painful boring city rides in traffic

No, they get very hot and fade.

That's not London. I used to cycle there from London when I was a lad.

we have owners coming further than that to the Huntsman, Eridge every Wednesday, one even comes from Dulwich by car, to Tatsfield near Westerham, to collect his bike and then rides to and from the pub on the bike!, puts it back (with mum) and car back to the smoke,
RESPECT!

Why is a man on a hill? Alien crop circles gone wrong?

Reminds me of a scene from a cop movie where they draw a chalk line around the dead body. He was a big guy. Probably leaned against the door of a space ship and it gave way. Looks like he still had the door in his hands when he hit the deck.
