Re: excited
Good luck! I couldn't sleep the night before I had my bike couriered up the country.. the worst part was it was supposed to be with me between 4-6 but the guy got stuck in traffic round Birmingham and I didn't get the bike till about 11! By then all I could do was move the bike into the garage and wait till morning before I got the chance to play with it!
Hope all goes well for you tomorrow! Is ecluse blue the darker variant? |

Pull it to pieces and grease every bearing, copper slip every bolt. Wash then ride. Enjoy!

Re: excited
Get real.... nothings going to stop you from riding it first (well perhaps check the tyres are still round beforehand) but then do all of the above as soon as you get a moment. Giving your sparkling new bike a good clean is the best way of learning what goes where and will help you spot anything early should it start to develop a fault. A little regular maintenance goes a long way to avoiding big bills later in life.....
