Retail Therapy….. NOT!
As you know, Clíodhna needs a few extras to make her the perfect tour machine… well as near as possible… a Sissybar, some luggage and perhaps a windscreen. James in LA has very kindly offered to receive my purchases at his address, so I can buy everything online in the USA and save on shipping …
