Ethel or Mavis - that is the question

Today took Ethel, K75C, for a chilly run to the National Motorcycle
Museum for a trade show. Not having ridden her for a while I had
forgotten what a joy she is to ride. Everything worked, toasty heated
grips + new Goretex suit ( e bay police 1 piece riot suit for £30 ! )
was brilliant.
By comparison to Mavis, K1100LT, Ethel is a real lightweight. Easy to
trundle about and none of the stubborn, ponderous oversteer that Mavis
has when pressing on in corners. Ethel is like riding a 250 by
comparison.She has plenty of grunt if not the whumph that Mavis has.
I suppose the biggest thing is that you feel involved in what is going
on with Ethel whilst Mavis is all silky getting the job done.
Let's face it. Ethel and i have shared 20000 enjoyable miles together
and all the bits and pieces I have done to her have made her my bike.
Mavis is a package in her own right - you gets what you sees. She is a
really nice bike but is just not growing on me as what she does is not
WOW like the K1300GT with its monster 164 bhp. Yup she will hum along
at 100 mph everywhere but just does everyrthing in a thorough BMW car
type of way.
Ethel is a quirky oddball
Anyway, decision time, Mavis is going to go and Ethel is the keeper of the two.
At least today..............
