First ride on my new old Wee

[Brockett]

As the sun was out and no rain forecast I took the Wee out for it's first run.
A relaxed riding position when compared to the slightly aggressive stance of the Tracer and it was a tad easier to get on and off. The 150 odd mile trip showed the seat is much more comfortable.  As compared to my previous Wee and Glee the steering was much improved. Low speed front wheel wobble - gone. Was this the Cosmo fork brace or the Bridgestone A40 tyres or a combination of the two. Whatever it was the bike felt really planted as good as the Tracer although I didn't push it with it's new tyres. I have posted a photo and some notes on the bits I have added in the photos section. It was good ride and nothing I had a spanner on, fell off. Happy days.

Good to hear. Sounds like a good ride out

It is ironic Dave, I was out on the Tracer today thinking how much I prefer my Wee

I have no bad feelings towards the Tracer. It was almost too easy to ride too fast. The brakes were good and everything worked well. The saddle was a bit hard but easily cured with an AIRHAWK. I only parted with it so as to not have to carry a ladder around so my old legs could get on in.  But it wasn't long before I felt the need to return to the fold.

That's interesting,  cheers. I've been looking at the Tracer as a possible replacement for the Glee...

If you ride one I am sure you will like it, however, after the initial thrill settles down, look at the front and consider wind protection. (No fart jokes).
