Happy New Bike day!

So after all the saga of the garage fire, we have finally got back to a workable and usable garage so it was time to get a bike back in it.

Picked up my new Honda Africa Twin ATAS DCT AS today!

Cheers chap! Yes I had hoped to get out on her over the weekend, but sadly now I’ve got work in the morning, because the job that was scheduled for Monday is looking rocky with the weather, so we’ve pulled it forward to Saturday morning instead.

I’m sure I will still get some time to get out and get used to riding her!

Yep I’ve always love the tri colour ATAS models colour scheme, that’s what my previous 2019 model year was too.

Hence why it was an easy choice for me on this new model.

Congratulations on the new bike.

Cheers bud, was hoping to get out on it this morning but I’ve got work to do now, perhaps a quick ride later today.

It’s a big each lump though, I parked it on my path so the centre stand was on the block paving.

Which meant the front and back wheel were on the small patch of grass either side of the path.

Was there for a couple of hours, came back to put it in the garage and the front wheel had sunk into the soft wet grass by about 50mm!

Didn’t realise it was that much heavier than my previous 2019 model.

Cheers Ears!

Mt single criteria for my motorbikes is,that it must first look great and you want to keep looking at it even when you are walking away from it.
