I thought it was due on Thurs... wait! I’ve lost another day 🤦🏻‍♀️

Whoop whoop

Out for a loaf of bread
Out for a pint of milk...

Enjoy

(And get on the phone to the tarmac people 😆)

2 years now waiting for Redrow to do the bloody road.
The road is going to be block paved.........when, who knows.

Yes needed to go 50 miles to NOT get milk. The bike is a bit weird but i think is going to be ok. The big job is finding out how to sort the Sat Nav and radio. Need the Sat Nav to get home when i get lost. Thought reverse gear was broke when i got back, of course it wasn't, just got to press the right buttons and pull the right lever at the correct time.
Never had these issues on my 1966 BSA C15 :shock:

It's even the same colour as the one my friend took on an all day test ride. He thought it was wonderful.

Glad it's finally arrived and you've enjoyed it so far :)

Are you noticing the lack of vibration (since the flat-6 has inherent primary and secondary balance)?

Piglet, as you know I am not up on the mechanical side of things, but, compared to the RT yes it is so smooth, there is virtually zero vibration (or that wot you said)...and I am very surprised how well it goes on the bendy roads.
I had planned to go on a 100 ish miles run today but the weather has not co operated.
On the few miles I have done thus far I am very pleased. I think it is just what I needed at my age and level of fitness (or lack of).
The crawler 1st and reverse are invaluable to me.
