First "long" ride

Postby obelix » Mon Mar 27, 2017 7:36 am

First proper ride with my newly acquired R11S
Went out on Friday and Saturday on short rides but decided on the following route for a longer one

I am sure some folks here know the route, the start/finish point being Market Harborough .

You are all already convinced but I am converted too. Well planted , good brakes and torquey !
I am still getting used to the indicators and I need to ditch that tall screen as it generates so much noise .

Done about 300 miles this weekend and average 44mpg...130miles when reserve shows...do not know if this is good or not but I was not hanging around

couple of crap shots with my phone. was too busy riding :D

That's a really good colour scheme.

So when is this 'Old enough to know better' supposed to kick in?
