New Bike

[muddy]

Woopwoop Len, that's what i found appealing also, the accessibility, you'll be receiving a fettling award soon then eh, so come on tell us how's the transition gone to a smaller cc bike and what's it like to ride, especially where you live, it's biking heaven..

Well it's different, that's for sure. I had a little Honda Grom for a few years, so I kinda got acclimatised to the lack of pep. I'd never have bought one if I was still down south where you so often need the spare horses to get out of trouble. 

It handles surprisingly good as well, so it loves the back lanes. Took it down my first green lane a few weeks ago, with some really rocky sections and steep inclines and it took everything in it's stride. Good fun, but, phew, hard work. Also getting around 80 mpg, so happy days.
