Talking just got it home!

picked it up today - got home around 10 minutes ago.

decided that since I had to conquer my fears - the best thing was to just jump right in!
Did a U Turn in front of the dealership and started off. I thought a U Turn in traffic might be the most difficult thing, so if I could do that and not fall off - I should have the confidence to do the rest easily.

What an easy bike to ride!

Clutch point is easy - brakes have feel - gears are spaced fine - Soooo much better than sport bikes of old!. (70's)

Not even a hint of a drama, and it is tucked up safely in the shed - ready for the next ride tonight. With Daylight savings - stays light till 8pm - will find a factory area tonight and have a play - consider some figure eights, and a few panic stops will teach me what I need to know about this bike.

lets see if I can get the first service (1000 kms) done next week!
