I too am an Expat, originally from Lancashire, closest landmark that may be recognized would be the Haydock Racecource. Been living in London Ontario since 74. 04 B12 set up and used for long distance, this is how I had it set up last year for the ten hour ride to the MotoGP in Indianapolis
Went back in 07 for the TT centenary and had a great time! Presently unemployed and waiting for this -12 weather to go away. If still without a job come the nice weather I hope to put some serious miles on the bike, going places I've always wanted to go, well, that's if I can afford it!
