MT passed it's first MOT today with flying colors,
no problem at all 12200 miles likely to put it up for sale
though as having problems with arthritis in my hands.

Hi Ralph. Mine passed too, in April at around 11k. Interestingly (and sadly) I too suffer from arthritis - mainly the left hand. It flared up after a RoSPA four day 1000 miles blast in Wales. I was also getting horrible cramps occasionally in my left hand. The joys of getting older! To ease the situation I regularly repeat the mantra "Bars like a budgie, tank like a tiger". In other words, grip the bars very lightly but keep locked on to the tank. This certainly helps. A hydraulic clutch would help too.
What bike would you get next, or are you hanging up your gloves for good?

Did 300 miles last week in the Scottish borders and likely will
do about 260 miles round north Wales this week I do the Round Britain Rally
but am thinking of going twist n go, old age creeps on.
