Default Finally I'm on the road.

This is the first time i have ridden it since the initial ride home, that was an unpleasent experience, it was a twichy beast.

I spent months since buying it putting everything right over the winter, and now its a completely different bike, its a pleasure to ride. The clutch is perfect the brakes are perfect, my new fancy seat is unbelievable comfortable, the new front tyre make is steer perfectly.


But, what a difference the restriction makes! alot slower lol, but legal

Gives you a good confidence boost when you've checked everything and know it's all ok. Nothing worse than worrying about something on the bike. And a new front tyre always makes it feel ace

What seat did you get?
