I'm in Bangor (the Northern Ireland one), so my Sunday afternoon is around the Ards Peninsula. Down the outside, Irish Sea side, then up the inside with Strangford Lough on my left. Usually quiet roads with a few villages along the way. A few watering holes as well. Bit more about the bikes. The GT had only done 600 miles when I bought it, the first owner having made mostly cosmetic changes. The rear shocks are now Hagon units, so I've no idea if the originals were not up to the job. Think it was more about style than function. The 350's comfortable speed is 50-55 mph, with little vibration so perfect for the kind of roads I use. It' still on the points system which I thought to change right away to electronic ignition. But it starts 1st or 2nd kick, runs well and has an even tickover. If anyone has done the changeover, was it worth it? Fair old gap between 3rd and 4th gears but that's how it is. Very pleased with both bikes, and hope to get a few more days out, before the road salt starts going down.
Ron.
