My NC31 is having its first 2019 run tomorrow ( Sunday ). I am taking it to the VMCC annual Pendine get together. This is the usual season opener for the local section. Not going to venture on to the sands despite its speed record heritage. The Honda is eligible for VMCC runs being over 25 years old ( 1992 ). The club have long since given up grumbling about Japanese bikes and all are now welcome. Weather looking good, bike checked , started and raring to go. Luckily I have an SV650s to run through the winter.
