There is only ONE thing better than owning a Cadillac . . . .

And that's owning TWO Cadillacs !

I'll start a separate thread after I've had a chance to clean her.

She's filthy after her cruise home last night !

Major, major thanks to Craig for his patience in quite possibly the "longest-transaction-ever-in-the-whole-world" purchase. Also to his kind hospitality and much needed use of the shower ! (hope the missus is feeling better today).

Thanks also to Ian for the Jinlun-piggyback to Swindon - cutting nearly 80 miles off of a hideous journey !
The bike fitted like a glove in the GMC !

Thanks, finally, to PhilO for kindly lending me some cash to cover the "final payment" when my wages didn't arrive !!!

Finally . . . . I say goodbye to the Jinlun.

She did her job - that was to give me the experience to get my "big bike" licence - and she did it well.
Never missed a beat, and always a pleasure to ride.
My first bike . . she'll always be missed.

Yup.

Gotta read the manual to work out how everything works / what everything is !

Will be giving her a clean in the next week or so and show her some polish.

Will be freshening up the interior, too.

Suppose I best get an MoT sorted, too.

Definately my favourite looking Caddy since the mid 70's that's for sure.

And a pleasure to drive, too.
