Always worth having a spare

Now that "the Bastard" has gone (see A Peg Sized Hole in The Garage) I'd best have a fresh blog about travels on my other bikes.

As the stolen bike was fully prepped for an upcoming trip to Scotland and Ireland had to sort out another one to ride. 

On the train back from Liverpool, I ordered a new helmet (it had been in the top box), once home I opened the garage and moved the XJR out of the way so I could get at "Peg 1". Always worth having a spare.

This is Jean's original Pegaso that she used for the Americas and Morocco trips, before buying a new one and letting me use it to go to Mongolia. It has sat unused since 2018.

It fired 1st time, so the following days were taken up getting it MOTd and ready for a trip.
