My new beast

Only went to have a look so spur of the moment thing. Wasn't planning to change bikes until the new year but I really can't rely on Frankensteen and really don't have confidence she will look after me, I've spent a fortune on her and she's no better for it ok first incident was more than likely my fault due to inexperience a bald tyre and freezing conditions but after it's any ones guess.

As you know I like give names to my vehicles, so now it's my pleasure to introduce you to POLLY rocket.

Polly rocket here she is, well, on saturday when I pick her up  







My hose pipe is already set up for after every ride and the purchase of ACF50 is on it's way.

Very nice!!

Bang tidy

Lol, I won't say anything I promise.
Not bothered about tourque at the moment, for the next few weeks or months or even till next summer every moped is gonna overtake me haha. Just looking to take it easy and ride safe, VERY safe  

Seeing the wear on the rear tyre tells me it is pre-owned, but what year is it, you didn't say.

She's a 2011 model. Brand new tyre on the back just been scrubbed in. 6100 on the clock

Done 2 days of riding and 150 miles later, wow what a bike.   Yes, it's tourque is somewhat less than the cat but chuckability, balance, rev range and sex appeal is second to none, Ive not ridden anything else so only going off my experience,  i may be biased too lol. Not dissing the cat either, great bikes and i learned alot from frankensteen. You never forget your first eh.
My boy loves it and it gets looks everywhere, and the can, wow sounds sexy.
No issues with comfort really, yes it's a more racey set up and the wrists do feel the pressure but I seem ok when not carrying pillion. Dont tell my son lol

ellie, I've done 14 years of trying to make the misses happy. I must be doing ok lol
Ill upload some sunshine pics later

Good for you! These newer bikes really are very different.

Ride safely dude.

Just got back from another ride lol. The headlamp WORKS. I can see everything lol

alright pipe down with your working I can actually see the road headlights... some of us aren't so blessed.

But we do have more torque

Still got my cat Dave, still going to use it sometimes so theoretically im still in the same boat as you guys ( sort of) 

Nice bike!

Still a Yam, and it's blue, so I guess you can stay  

Good to hear you're going to take your time to get to know Polly.
Glad to here you've already found out she's good in the dark - oh err!

PS My bike's headlight is just a little worse than the Thundercat

 is that even possible that there is a bike headlight is worse than the cat's?

Right then. I'm not 'aving you say my headlight's not as bad as yours!

I challenge you to a headlight duel at the next rideout.

this could end badly if they are both really not that good!

Chicken!
