We'll call it beginners luck!

Rode the bike today. Can't say I notice a massive difference in performance but then it's been so long since I've ridden it I think I've completely forgotten what it used to feel like! The sound is much nicer though and I've got that all important extra ground clearance.

I've ordered my Adventure Spec bash plate. It arrives tomorrow. I've got a day off to fit it and then i'll be set for some green lanes.

Just need to learn how to ride off road.
