I FUCKING DID IT!
Bought the damn thing and rode it all the way home.
Fucking freezing weather, no wonder bikers hate winter, and today was sunny and dry no less. Just fucking cold.
But goddamn am I riding a high right now.
Parked up, and this week I'll do some QoL improvements.

@dutchbarracuda you have just met the FINAL BOSS of windchill lol

@dutchbarracuda nice! I had a vz800 loved it!

Yeah you don't know what cold means until you ride a motorbike, eh!

@dutchbarracuda how does she go?
@capnthommo Like a tumble dryer n slow motion. I think I topped out at 66mph going down hill 😂
@dutchbarracuda Just never pull up on a white line on a frosty day and have your wheel go out from under you. Snapped off my damn clutch lever doing that.
@dutchbarracuda Welcome on two wheels! 🏍️ Two small tips you maybe already are aware of. Chain looks like it needs some lube and tensioning, plus hook the extra lock through your brake disk if possible (safer that way) and get one of those stretchy yellow lines and hook that over your lever or handlebar when you lock the bike. Saves you awkward moments. Don't ask how I know ;-)
@fschaap yeah that chain is ROUGH. It has it's MOT due end of January so I'll get it properly serviced before my next big ride.
Disc lock and a nice thick chain lock (mostly for show) are on their way, as well as an Oxford cover because I lack any kind of garage unfortunately.
@dutchbarracuda Ah, Dutch, but in the UK?
