Picked up the new Vee today.
« on: September 03, 2016, 20:33:01 »
Picked up my new pride and joy today, a new Vee in Silver. Only managed 50 miles before rain stopped play. Tomorrow is the day for a first long ride. After 2 years of contemplating and 3 test rides, I did it, and went for it. It is great, love extra braking ability and the plush suspension. Big upgrade over the Wee. Had a ball on the Wee, 4 1/2 years, but needed a change and what a change.

Did 250 miles on sunday and loving it. Can't wait to get the 1st service done, so I can rev it a bit more. Restricting yourself to 4500, is like driving a diesel. Nice with lots torque, just a lot of upshifting early, just, as it starts to take off.
