Returning to Africa Twin

Hi Everyone,
i had an Africa twin a few years ago and changed around a few different models since but i was drawn back to buy another twin for its looks, performance, ease of servicing and parts. After my first run out i realise what i was missing. I wont be making the same mistake again

Sounds like a sweet bike you have! Mossy 'n the others have absolute minters compared to my tatty yoke Hope to organise a weekend sometime soon, I think in fact there may be a bit of a trailbike meetup in Clare next weekend.
