Wirral Egg Run Review

Recapping on last weekend in regards to the Wirral egg run, just wanted to mention again how big an event it actually was and how lucky we were to have a sunny day! The freshly painted Busa has turned out really well and exceeded all initial expectations.

The bike has gone in for its paint job! We are really excited about seeing the transformation and are expecting to pick the bike up during the third week of March.

Cleaning the bike in the snow

Happy new year! Current mileage – 1,611

Used the bike for the first time since Christmas and was glad to go out on it! There is a smattering of snow everywhere and it was quite exhausting riding it because I had to be constantly aware of where the snow and ice was on the road.
