Got a mate with a Yoshi gs1200ss. Only bike I can remember that looked like it had a head-on accident, even when it was on the showroom floor!

Just to ease your mind - there are actually two of them in the picture. (Piccy got published in Two Wheels too - I'm like a famous phototaking person

Mrs H rides a K6 Bandit 650: the very last of the oil-boiling version of this model. She's wound almost 90,000km onto it. It runs as good now as it ever has.

18,000 kilometres per year is a very good effort. May we have pictures please Mrs Hitch?
