NBD - (New Bobber Day) - Loads 'o Pics
Discussion
Well, it was technically about a month ago but I've been far too busy riding the bike and enjoying the stretch of nice weather we've been having to get online.
To recap the spec was:
2019 Bobber (regular)
LED headlamps
Short stem front and rear LED Indicators
Brown leather quilted seat
Picked her up the day after I got back from my work trip and couldn't have asked for any better weather! Absolutely lovely day. Straight home to drop off the paperwork pack and then down the coast for a quick ride. Friend phoned while I was out so met up with him on his Harley and off we went for a ride. Think I did about 120 miles on that first day.
Fitted a small phone mount on the handlebars (QuadLock)but havn't needed to use it so far.
So, in the 3-1/2 weeks that I was home I managed to do just over 640 miles. She did received her first service after 490 and I was able to open her up a bit more. I do a lot of windy B-road riding and third gear is just the most addictive thing I've ever experienced. Utterly amazed that this passed Euro 4 noise regulations. I'm having to get used to braking a bit earlier than on my last bike, and also that the brakes themselves really aren't that good. Not for a bike this size anyway. Wish it had the double front disk.
Also missing having somewhere to stick small items. So will be exploring the pannier / rear fender luggage rack options.
I've now de-stickered everything, and given first clean / polish and she's come up lovely.
