Progress - RWC Done

I've been out of action for almost a week due to some surgery thats seen me not riding. I've used up a lot of the time researching stuff though so its been time well spent.

I ventured out today for a ride on the Gen-1 mainly to see my mechanic and work on a plan of attack. I had been leaning towards

  1. Tyres
  2. Roadworthy
  3. Stage 1
  4. Bars/Risers/Cables


But after eyeballing the bike with Matt from Rosnars he felt it was so clean and nothing stood out and that we should just get the roadworthy out of the way and worry about the tyres with the first round of mods.

So a phone call and 15 minutes later I was watching the Gen-1 go "Over the pits"
IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS!!

But man was it uncomfortable to ride.

The combination of:

  • The low narrow bars with too much pull back
  • Bulky Rubber pegs
  • Stock rear shocks
  • Woeful tyres
meant it kind of sucked to ride. 

But changing that is all part of the plan.


Stay tuned...
