    Hey Everyone, just saying hello! I'm Dan from Vancouver, Canada. I picked up a new to me 2005 Thruxton a few days ago. It's well loved, but in fantastic condition. Nearly 40,000kms on the clock but rides like a dream.

    Anybody have any tips, suggestions or ideas for what i should focus on for a bike with mileage like this?

    My wife has complained about her legs falling asleep during our only 2 up ride on it, has anyone encountered this and what has been done to make your passenger more comfortable?

    Thanks!

    Welcome in, fantastic bike and great colour. Get a bonnie seat and put that on when you take her out! I never let on to my wife that there was anything under the cowl!!
