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...

Washer bottle woes
Hi all, newbie Steve from Swindon, Wilts here. I picked up my 1989 1.6 TDS the other day & it drove faultlessly during the 200 odd miles back home. I ran it at 60 mph on the flat & 55 up hills; I'm very pleased with it so far & got 36-37 MPG. It's a "pocket money" camper I got ...
