Scott's 14 (First bike)

[J16SDA]

Evening all, 

This is my new to me 1400 (first bike passed my test 2 weeks ago)

I bought it in June as a fixer upper.

So far I've given it a really good clean as the previous owner used it in all weathers as a commuter.

I've done the below..

1) fixed a wiring fault which was making the lights flash when indicating
2) replaced the rear shocks for aftermarket
3) cleaned a polished the exhaust and headers
4) fitted heated grips
5) puig front screen
6) usb port up front
7) updated headlight bulbs
8) led indicators

That'll do for now, she needs a service and front fork service.

Welcome Scott! Best bikes on earth.

Question: First bike - passed test 2 weeks ago. Have you been riding bikes for long? Is this literally your first bike ever? Down here in Penalsville we have to start with a low powered bike for a while then progress to a larger capacity later. You went straight to the space shuttle! How do you feel about riding such a mighty bike as your first bike? Nervous much or are you a racer who's just got their road license?

Welcome Scott.

Re indicator issue, mine only work intermittently as in on-off-on-off etc.

I recall years ago we had a member who went straight to a 14 after his test, old Lucky13.

I think it's not as bad as it seems as I got mine 8 months after my test & it was easier to ride than the RF600 I had before that.

I've ridden bikes up until I was 16 mainly motocross and mopeds across fields ha. I've had my car license around 15 years my lorry license 5 years so I'm experienced in that way.  I'm a big lad at 6ft2 23 stone so wanted something with a little pull to move my bulk. So far I feel great on it. I'm steady away as I know it's all new to me.
