Son Thomas and I had planned to do the VMCC Round Norfolk Run back in June this year, only to be discouraged by torrential rain - the run went ahead, but the ride down to the start point at Seething would have seen both of us soaked to the skin before we had even started. - So, we decided on a run to sunny Hunstanton instead!
We took the W/NG and the SQ4 on a 100 mile run around Norfolk - by the end of the day both bikes had done 145 miles from different starting points.
The SQ4 performed perfectly on it's new tyres, with scarcely a drop of oil lost and returned 50 mpg. The W/NG on the other hand was a bit tricky to hot start a few times (I've forgotten the technique), shed a lot of oil over the back tyre (over full chain case) and the horn fell off, which was easily fixed with some spare bolts from the panniers. We filled it up, to find it was doing about 100 mpg!
We had a great time, and we will do it again soon.
