Today I collected my bike!

Today I collected my bike from the dealership! Got a free universal plate and top box, only had to pay the £63 for the bracket.....not £200 as I expected for the whole lot. Nervous ride back from the dealership (first gear is a bit weird and it's high pressure on the wrists but I'll get use to it).

Had a little bit of a better ride this evening, had to dodge the thunderstorms though....was quiet nervous pulling out at a junction, much to the annoyance of a very nice lady. I spent 5 mins in the garage with the bike when I came back in....even managed to get it on the centre stand!




Another point as well....I picked up £336 worth of helmet from smc this morning. It has a fog proof plastic insert, I was a bit sceptical but it really works (note the foggy edge of the visor to the right)



The fazer is much smoother than the BMW x country I learnt to ride on, however, I think at this point I prefer the low end power of the BMW. This could all change in the next few months though.....other than my poor control trying to turn right into my road the fazed has not 'scared' me with it's power (but then again, I havnt yanked on the throttle!)
