First ride in 18 months
« on: 11 June 2015, 07:13:16 pm »
It's been a long wait, between finances, fettling and foc ups by the shipping company, but at long lost 'Bee has cleared customs and sailed through :groan the registration inspection here in Kiwiland.
 :woot :woot


First wee shakedown run last night, man I'm rustier than she was when Nooj got her.
 :o

Still, grin has been splitting my face ever since even though we did only go into Auckland city and back, but man I've missed my bike.
Saturday will be spent making her road (il)legal again, swapping out the standard can for the Micron one again, checking the power commander, refitting the hand guards and led rear light...
 :D

Longest I've been off her up until now was 4 weeks due to ripped ankle ligaments, even then it was only the right ankle so didn't really need to use it much, but this has been killer.

I'll get some photos of her in front of a decent Kiwi landscape in the next week or so, but I fear I may need a new lid as my smile is likely to crack mine form the inside.

If anyone is looking for me, I'll be out on my bike.
