And so:-

The BMW is now working.

It is fast enough for motorway driving, light enough for backroads and is reliable by design. Although it is 35 years old now.

It was an impulse buy. I had started to restore my very rusted 1984 BMW R65LS and it was dawning on me that, with the time I could spend on it, this would be a 1-2 year project. During that time I had no bike. So I thought how about getting a little runaround

But it’s probably a two year project and I really want something to ride in the meantime. Hence the Bullet.

It is time to say goodbye to the Bullet.
I will be sad to see it go.  I have always liked big singles. It has filled a gap, and got me back into motorcycling.  Prior to getting it I had not ridden a motorcycle for almost fifteen years!
