Popped down to the village post office and there I met a bloke walking towards a blue 1980 250 SD. So naturally I said hi commenting on his full frontal plain matt white fairing, he said it was off a Suzuki but he made it fit, the bike was originally silver according to log book. "Didn't you like silver?" I asked "done before I had it" he has had the bike since 1995. "Crash damage?" he thought not as no other evidence "might have just swapped the coloured bits with a mate who preferred silver"
He uses the bike most days and has only ever done basic maintenance , chain, oil, brakes "nothing ever goes wrong". I noted the miles, 67,400. "Are you on the forum?" I asked, he looked at me with a mixture of concern for my mental condition and suspicion "not on the internet" he replied. Later he rode passed, the engine sounded smooth and smokeless, he waved. I wondered how many SD's out there just going about their business.
