Doesn’t everyone build their shed around their trophies ?!

If you’re referring to all that fuss about the ‘boring’ ign key, I just don’t get that at all. It’s a f*cking key !!

How is it?

Overall quality of fit and finish looks top drawer.

The colour scheme on this LE version is even better in ‘the flesh’. It really does look classy.

The exhaust note is a tad less raw than my old one which ran shorties and de cat pipes. It’s deep and mellow and sounds very, very, nice.

The engine rattles like an old skool air cooled lump should. The primary does not sound like an impending catastrophic failure like my old one did. Thank goodness!

So first impressions are all very positive. But I haven’t ridden it yet.

One niggle… I didn’t get a handbook… that can’t be right can it ?!

Think your’re supposed to get a natty disk of some sort FE, looks like a record from memory. Owners manual is on the Norton website.

Of course, we'll all need the obligatory photos, videos, and other proof of possession.:cool:
 
Most of you know already that I’m trying really hard to get to like, or at least accept, the gold Ohlins forks. It’s SO obvious they shudda been black.

So, I gets it out of the shed for a (freakin cold) ride yesterday and as it’s parked outside the shed I says to daughter #1 (who has slightly less than zero interest in bikes):

“Waddya think”

To which she replies:

“Hmmm, it’s ok. I don’t like those orange pipes on the front though”

ORANGE PIPES !?!

They’re gold… not orange. And they’re forks… not pipes.

Where did I go wrong ??

FFS !
