Unfortunately they were sold out as the price was 2/6 a gallon, mind you It may have been slightly past its sell by date..
How's the 1100s going? Still liking it? Ever miss the 1200?

The R11S is fine thanks Al, behaving itself beautifully after the injectors were replaced. I do like it very much, is just such a complete and well rounded bike if that makes any sense, ok its a bit underpowered, but it really does inspire confidence with its predictable handling.
Oddly enough I don't miss the R12s,the Aprilia is far more exciting to ride, has better handling and is the perfect antidote to the R11S,chalk and cheese .There is something utterly addictive about a big V twin. I don't know how many times I have had a shed full of bikes (generally 3) and I always tended to ride the favourite and not the others. With the current pair its the first time I have the mix right.

Eyore,
Your 1100S is a stunningly good custom paint job. Whoever designed and did that got it spot on. Very distinctive and suits the bike admirably.

I'm surprised that pump is left outside. That's quite a few quids worth. I really fancy that Aprilia of yours.

On the subject of the price of petrol
I'm still using a red 2 gallon "Pratts" petrol tin with brass cap and original cork washer to get the petrol for my lawn mowers - it costs about a tenner to fill up - However, the price stamped in the metal on the top of the can is 3/- making it 1 Shilling and 6 pence a gallon (about 7.5p) so not sure how old the can is.
