The Peg (I don't call her the "Bastard" as often as I used to) has been relegated to the back of the garage, pending some items that need investigating and fettling, so my 21 year old XJ900F is back in service for the winter.
Recently the Peg decided to not start after a damp cold night (ok, probably the battery) while I was working in Gloucester. And it is also chewing main stand springs, which is currently more annoying than major but needs sorting.

Still running
After 74 days, four breakdowns and 17000 miles the Peg came back home, the trip blog is here.

She was running rough on the final legs, he chain was stretching at a rapid rate, 14 spanner "faces" per day (around 500 miles per day on the last 5 days).
With some gentle tinkering she has continued running, now with ore than 62000 miles under the belt. Recently I had a day out with another Peg own in the hills and lanes over Macclesfield.
David showing me how it should be done.

It's winter again, so the Peg is going into hibernation while I use the XJ900F to get around. It is a better bike for filtering on the M6 between home and Birmingham.
