Title: The Night before Christmas
Post by: Timbox2 on January 29, 2010, 03:13:54 PM
Well, thats what it feels like, will I ever grow up,.

Tomorrow is the day I go and get the Tigger and ride her back home, Ive already decided to get the earliest possible train at 6.30 just so Ive got as much time as possible to enjoy the ride back and take the more scenic route.

Ill take some pics and post em up later
Cheers for now

So, left the house at 6.00am, on the train at 6.20, down in Bournemouth just after 10.

Left Bournemouth about 11 in the end after fiddling about with wiring for the Gerbing Jacket, raising the seat to highest( and I can get me feet down, no probs), it was then I discovered I left the camera at home, ooops.

Sorry Guys, but what a ride back, sunshine all the way, nice dry roads, cold yes but, with the Heated Grips and Gerbing Jacket I was toasty, jeez that thing goes, and with the baffle removed from the Hexacone, what a noise.
only thing I noticed was a bit of fuzziness between 3k & 4k RPM, is that par for the course?

1 photo, of Tiger at home, outside Im afraid, no luxury of Garage here, sure she can take it. Im a very happy bunny.

when you get a chance, remove the front sprocket cover and look and see if it has a number on it, or count the teeth...

  Mine came with a 17T,  could barely keep the front wheel on the ground, but on the highway was always reachign for another gear...

   swapped a 19T on it that I had leftover from my Sprint ST..  Much smoother onthe highways

Nice one, and in the right colour too, glad to see you got her home ok and you have a good day for it.

I see a Hyperpro sticker on the swingarm... is it there for show or has the suspension been farkled???  I have Hyperpro springs in the Blackbird forks and love them...

I thought it had a Hyperpro Shock, but its got a spring upgrade, whether its got them in the front aswell I dont know, but it does seem to handle very well, and the dive isnt too bad, but then Ive got nothing to compare it too.

Looks to me that it is already quite well farkled. A nicely sorted Girly, definatly a nice, different look.

Can't wait to do the same. I (fortunately) have to fly 1300 miles to pick mine up. Means a nice long shakedown tour getting home.  :occasion14
