1st ride
« Reply #1 on: December 19, 2012, 06:56:15 PM »
just thought i would let you all know that today was the first ride i have had on the xs11 :), its now on club plates  ;D.
to paint a pitcher of the road i travel to work each day its 15km of corners.  ;)
the normal time i head of to work is 7.30 but today being a little bit excited i went out to the shed at 7.00 geared up and wormed up the bike and headed for the road. by the time i got to the first corner my first thought was man this bike has a lot of power... ;D
5km in to the trip and the sun came though the trees worming me up, the next thought i had was pull over and call in sick so i could just keep going  :-[ , but I'm better than that so on i rode, powering out of each corned until i came in to town and slowing down.
riding past work slowly the next thought was i could be a little late  ::) so on i went out of town enjoying the ride. man this bike is smooth to ride.... 8)
some time went by and i had to head back  :'(... pulling in to the work shop and parking the bike, the boss comes over and said " if i had a bike like that i would ride past work and be late too, now get to work."
well that is it, it's now back in the shed ...... until tomorrow :D
