Last weekend, I picked up my new (to me) 2009 model Ulysses. I had a 2006 for a few months last year and a recent ride on my wife's SCG reminded me of what I'm missing :twisted: .

So - here it is. Bought of another UKBEG member who has carefully looked after it and fitted all the modifications that I was going to do (except one). My daughter says it looks like an angry bird so I have named him The Raven. Well, I am a fan of The Stranglers :D

It's on a 2010 plate and reputedly the last or second last of this model to be registered in the UK. I wanted the lastest and best example so I had my eye on this one for months! The one major modification that I'm intending to carry out at some time is to fit the 2010 rear wheel, although I may change the screen too, for touring.

You can see he's had a piddle in Ryka's car park. I stupidly brimmed the tank half a mile before parking it in the heat, on the sidestand. We live and learn :roll: .

It's not oil, it's fuel... apparently it's an XB summertime party trick:
