Finally used it for what its designed for!

Post by adge82 »

My old man came down last night and we took the bikes out this morning.

FINALLY :kuda:

Ive had the 9 a couple of months and all ive done is commute. Dead straight roads.
Went up to Kinglake from Diamond Creek, then across to Healesville for lunch.
We had planned on having a quick squirt up the spur and back but the traffic heading that way was ridiculous.
Came back to Epping the same way, no traffic at all to hold us up for the whole journey.

Felt bloody great, im quicker on the 9 than i was on the 7. It does everything just that little bit easier, i dont feel like i have to muscle it around. (at 60kg i hardly muscle anything around though).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Much better.
