Thanks for the welcome guys! I realise that a lot of you may be more scooter than bike orientated, which is no big deal to me, as long as it has two wheels and an engine, I'll give em a nod
The name came from when I fist looked her over and said 'well she's hardly a Harley is she?'
Well I made my first 'work run' on her yesterday and I must admit I'm impressed. Having ridden all sorts from MZ's to Honda's, I must admit I did not know what to expect. I've read elseware that they do not pull well, but let me tell you I'm no lightweight and I found no difficulty climbing hills in 4th! The ride is interesting... being my first custom, I think it will take a while until I'm confident enough to hack into the corners the way I used to and even then carefully as I feel a lot closer to the road now! There is the issue of neutral and finding it! There is a perfect one, unfortunately its between 4th and 5th LMAO! and the the one between 1st and 2nd takes some finding.
The upshot is that she was way cheaper than the 'big four' and I think it will take surgery to remove the smile from my face especially when I zip between the speed bumps that surround us everywhere!
Now...custom parts catalogue... what can I do to pretty her...
