Oh Oh Oh Oh My Gawd....!!!!!.....

I just came in my trousers.......

Left work at 4:00
Rode like a demon (albeit a Hyo demon) home
Pulled into the driveway
Saw the WMC Ute with my shiny beastie on the back of it at the end of the driveway.....

Off comes the jkt and helmet, out comes the camera. Off the ute comes the bike.....

Paperwork and a run down on the bike from Jim.....Slipped some $ to the man, and for the crew at WMC.

Waved goodbye with one hand as he was dissapearing out the drive, while slipping the jkt, helmet, gloves on with the other hand....

Started the bike, and I swear I got half a mongrel.....anyways jumped on and it's off, to scrub the tyres in.

Well what better road to do this on than the coast road.

First impressions on the bike.....

1. Comfy
2. Gotta remember I actually have a THROTTLE now, and it does not take much persuading to get up and boogie.
3. Cornering is like a dream. Sits over nicely and takes the corners like they are not there.
4. Brakes are awesome..
5. Riding position is brilliant. Not hunched over. Seems like it is just right.
6. In case I didn't mention it before....."OH my gawd, the throttle.", the tinniest twist and it's wanting to boogie......No longer do I have to keep the throttle on, cornering. Can take the edge off before the corner and it's got plenty of kick out...Will take me a wee while to get used to this, but was expected...

Back home to have a coffee. Perve at the bike. Say Hi to the other half, coffee, the obligatory how was your day, write this up. And now it's back out for another blat.........


Big thanks to Pete at WMC and the guys in the workshop....More photo's coming
