It’s Arrived (1 Viewer)

[Rudski01]

Well what a week, we have eventually got planning permission, with many conditions

But more importantly this arrived

Now it’s 31 years since I’ve been on a manual bike so it was an experience to say the least, a quick 20 minute jolly before the rain started, thanks bigtwin for the advice whilst looking to buy, now my wife just asks can I stay alive long enough to get the house built
Every road around here is a twisty and this thing just ate them up, scary the power this thing has, not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it, think I need earplugs though, it’s loud

Well done on the planning Mark and be careful on that bike

Unfortunately whenever I get on a motorbike my brain disengages and my wrist twist to the stop

 

[Rudski01]

Yes, I keep telling myself I’m older and wiser so I won’t keep twisting the throttle back so far

Did that guy get in touch Mark?

No he never Mark

Shame you won't have time to ride it now the planning is through should I pop over and take it out now and again ? and even more importantly will my feet touch the floor ?

For a KTM, that’s not a bad looking bike.

Enjoy the bike, and take it easy.

I think that you may have intended to tag bigtree ?

I wondered if you managed to get out on it , glad to help steer you in the Orange direction.
Great news on the planning front too.

More than welcome to, I’m a short arse so shouldn’t be a problem

No he never Mark

Very strange, sounds a bit like the guy who was supposed to come and look at my scooter yesterday and then decided he couldn’t be arsed and made a shit excuse up

Crazy things modern bikes

Don't take the planning thing too personally, they all have lots of conditions these days, it seems to be more important where bats live than humans. The big thing to worry about is CDM2015, you can work around it if you're careful with the manhours you buy in, nightmare otherwise.
