Fun Commute to Work

Kato · 18-07-2019, 07:45 PM

This week I have been riding my 620Sie to work, it's great in the traffic has cut my journey from 1hr to around 20 minutes each way and for the most part I can't fault the little Monster, however on the open stretches it is so slow ...... not that I would advocate going fast

Was admiring her in the office car park when somebody mentioned how clean it was for the age, its on a 52 plate so 2003 and so it should be clean .... at nearly 17 years old she has exactly 2696 miles on the clock and sixty of those were this week

I’m sure the problems won’t show up ‘til you finish running her in...

:-D

Looks very nice. Enjoy the riding.

Does the 20 mins include getting all your riding gear on?

I used to ride to work occasionally if the weather was pleasant but I found the overall time difference was negligible when I factored putting my riding gear on & changing into work-ready attire at t'other end.

That said, the journey was more enjoyable but half of it was on country roads.

And, I am a bit slow getting togged up for a ride!
