Back on the road.

Big smiles all round... After working abroad for a few years, I am now back in action.

The Pan has been stored in our garage with little attention beyond a start every few months and attachment to an Optimate charger so the battery doesn't get drained.

On the list for checking before riding again:

• A thorough cleaning
• Checking the tyres for signs of perishing
• Check/replace brake, clutch fluids
• Check the brakes/disks
  
• Replenish coolant
  
• Regreasing bits and bobs

Upgraded the insurance from "laid up" to active today and I'll be getting everything sorted over the next few days before a trip to Belgium at the weekend.

Looking forwards to that, I can tell you...
