Bandol to Troyes 450 miles. (2001)
Iā€™d just got the ninja. This was my second trip out on it (south France)!!

Inverness to Uttoxeter 430 miles. (2018)
Fazer.
Could have just filled the tank up and gone back up, except that I was tired and hungry!
I was out on it again the next day šŸ˜

Same year (2018), I did a day trip to Consuegra to see the windmills. That was 450 miles. Stupid. It was v hot!
But they were stunning.

Iā€™m really looking forward to doing Scotland again. I shall mile munch up there, then have a week touring.

The numbness in my right hand went away after a couple of days, as did posterior soreness. The last 150 miles on the Xmoto I would alternate standing, sitting way forward on the seat, then way back on the seat. Said seat is worse than the Comfy Chair, or being poked with pillows with the stuffing all up one end.
