Test Ride

It's a dry Friday, you have more leave than an Italian politician and a bike with a new set of forks.... what do you do?...day off!

Decided on about a 120 mile route leaving from Southampton and taking the (very) long way to Fernsham pond. Beautiful small lake with many ducks (always a bonus). I was lucky enough to sit under the tree below and enjoy my lunch and magazine... A perfect way to spend a Friday if you ask me.




The new forks performed fantastically! So much firmer in corners with none of this front wheel chattering over uneven surfaces. A much firmer ride but with better dampening. Overall all money very well spent!
On the way back I may of got a little bit 'off track' (it's only being lost when you have somewhere to be in my opinion!) and ended up in the middle of a very small and muddy Forrest. Admittedly not the Sport Classics natural habitat but good fun and a another good spot for a brake and some more shots!...








Fantastic day and the Sport Classic was more than happy bouncing between country pub to country cafe and did a very good job of looking remarkably sexy outside.
My favourite comment so far about the bike... "i know what it is, not many people would but I do..". Too true, just the way we like it!
