    Was on here a few years ago when i had a fleeting dalliance with a Piaggio X9 500 but that has long gone.
    Still had the desire to get another T&G so got a nice Honda S-wing. Great bike but lots of long distance commuting for the job (now i'm retired there seems to more work than ever) i had to get something bigger.
    I chance visit to my local Honda dealer produced a great offer in P/Ex for the S-wing against a MaxSym 400i with only 1500 miles and in mint condition.
    So here is my new toy by the ferry on the Isle of Arran in Scotland;-

    Welcome back. Man that thing looks so comfy! Probably just as well with the miles you are doing.
