Actually the bike isn't taxed or mot'd yet.
Lol very true my friend, I bought it that way but am not moaning as I got a bargain.
im from winsford i also got mind cheaper as it is winter so carnt have it all ways i guess its just around the corner
well couldnt wait any longer.... just been out for an hour and a half to savour the sound and the grunt :doug but TBH its still a bit of a hollow feeling.
Plus i reckon it'll take longer than that to clean the bloody salt and crud offuke
but i felt good in places and the old adrenal gland got a bit of a work out once or twice when she spun up
so all in all i'd see if you've got the same urge its gotta be done!! :thumbup:biggrin:thumbup

First ride out today up the cat and fiddle Buxton, poor riding conditions with salt and grit down but was quite surreal riding between 5 foot snow drifts on either side of the road.
Lots of surface water from the melting snow, very steady ride but great fun just to get out again.

Just gonna have to wait
Got my bike from Smiffy on Friday looked at the weather was sunny but the roads were wet with salt! As much as I wanted to go out I had spent all day saturday cleaning and playing with it will just have to wait for a dry day.Wish I bloody lived in Australia!

i was soooooo tempted. The roads were drying nicely by 2pm in the mids but i resisted the temptation purely because theyre is still a lot of salt around.
dont want to ruin that gorgeous frame and swingarm for the sake of 30 mins pleasure. I'll hold off for a few more weeks.
Its still taxed and ready to roll so come on weather pick up please
