The Burgman now has over 1,000mls on the clock and is fully run-in. It cruises quite happily at 75mph and would probably be happy at 80 although there is a low "hum" from the engine which starts at about 80mph. It does not sound bad just different. For me 75mph with ample throttle left for quick overtaking is just fine. We had a rather vicious thunder storm here two days ago and although I was not riding the Burgman it was out in it. I have not seen rain and hailstones like it for many years. However no water entered the storage under the seat and all my gear was dry. A small amount did enter the small compartment (below) but not enough to cause concern and this was exceptional weather.

Gwyn takes her test in the afternoon of Friday the 19th May and in anticipation of her passing she "tried out" the Majesty in our yard so that she could get some sort of a "feel" for it.

| Not really suitably dressed for Scooting but never mind.

Well, she was suitably impressed and looking forward to having the Majesty full time. All fingers and toes are now crossed hoping the test goes OK. I will put up what happened next week. Hopefully with photos of our first weekend out on the two Scooters and by the way there may be a Honda 125 for sale!
