Re: Nice lookin' bike

:lol: :lol: :lol: I just think it would be easier to charge a bike overnight and not lose any time, than to fill up before/after work and get stuck in traffic that won't let me filter through as a result :p Same range as I get on the hornet, without switching to reserve too.

Re: Nice lookin' bike

Look wise it's OK but much the same as all the new sports bikes of the last 10 years...square & angular...Soooo so-so. Plus being electric you will defiantly need a playing card pegged to the spokes ...or make vroom vroom noises as you ride along... :lol: ''Picked up me new bike yesterday...'' '...

Re: Brake lines, pads & fluid

OK Brakes. You may also want to make sure that all the circular bobbins on the discs all spin freely which gives you a floating disc. Just put a nut and bolt through each one and spin them a bit to free them up. (:-}) I didn't know that!! You learn something new every day Thanks buddy Oh yes this i...
