Re: Washer bottle woes

Oldie .... Most I ever clocked on mine was 85 with no verification, but 99% of my rides were local / country lane. I can't imagine what a ton plus would have been like, but great bikes, good times & bringing back lovely memories ... All my mates had Norton Atlas / Commandos & Triumph Bonnies...
