First Drive Fun
Hi all,
well after picking up the number plates yesterday, and hastily fittling them last night I went out for a drive,
I know it's only a 1300 crossflow, but what fun! and the grip was awesome! just kept hanging on.
took it to work this morning but may have looked odd, trying to warm my chin up under the helmet, and driving with my welding gauntlets on till I get
some proper gloves!!
looking forward to the detour on the way home now!!
Happy mileage
Nib

Nice one. Theres nowt wrong with xflows, even 1300's. I really think too much engine weight and power can hinder the driving experience and
things get worse not better.
Enjoy

Cracking stuff nib, such a great feeling.
I drove my Indy to work today, chuffing cold, but the sun was out, the roads were dry and the car/engine just adores the cool crisp autumn air.
I too will be taking the long road home tonight

Well done for getting on the road - I am waiting for my plates and itching to get out there.
Did you have a long wait for the paperwork?
