Took the SP2 out for a quick spin to keep her fluids healthy, and was quickly reminded just how much harder work she is compared to the more modern bikes. This SP2 is 13 years old and HRC's quality still shines through as she feels hewn from granite.

That is f***ing gorgeous.

A wee 100 miles after work.

Which part of bonne Scotland is that? Is it near the Scotland500 route by any chance? We're going to do that next year and stop off in Aberdeen to visit some family.

That looks awesome. Could include that as part of the way up to the 500 or on the way back down.

Just the cables, throttle bodies/engine, electrics, frame, swing arm, forks, wheels, brakes, clocks and maybe the bodywork and it'll be good to go.

Well I got my SV to 186 the other day.

Then 12, then 78, 147, 8, 156 ...... no idea what was wrong with it but the speedo was having a total hissy fit, changing the speed every second from 0-186, regardless of how fast I was going. It would work lucidly for a bit, and then do it again.

I had new tyres the other day and thought the speedo reader thing could have been put back on wrongly, but as I'd ridden 200 miles before the problem occurred, it doesn't make sense.

It's not the end of the world, but I have now lost the excuse of trying to see how high the speedo will go.

Late, I know...

When that happened to my Triumph Speed Four it turned out that the plastic ring carrying the magnets that trigger the speed sensor had fallen apart (possibly assisted by a ham-fisted mechanic, but it was over a year after the tyre was replaced).

130 quid from Triumph.
Less than 30 quid for an alloy replacement made by a bloke in Germany.
