Well, tell us! Did you buy it? Is it good? ....well?

hi caminando,im back!actually didnt go anywhere just hadnt looked at this post for a few weeks,but YES....i did get the AT.been riding it every day as mot on my car expired and the bike has become my new wheels.apart from the seat(buying an airhawk next week)it runs sweet!needs a few things but all wear and tear eg chain/sprockets tyres did oil/filter when i got it home but really happy with it and gearing up for a trip out to france next weekend.have a few weeks work near narbonne so hoping the weather is fine to get some riding in.main trip is to get back to NZ,shes a bit top haevy but but the fun factor easlily makes up for it.:thumbup1:
cheers.
