Has come around again and that can only mean one thing (to this blog, at least)! It's exactly one year since I collected my bike from the shop and got on the road.
Not twelve months of riding, as much of that time has been spent "getting to know" the bike mechanically. Tinkering in other words. I've taken bits off and changed some bits around. None of it was really "customising" in any sense that I made, or even had made, one off parts to be exclusive. Most of the bits I've bolted on are HD parts. I haven't even used too many after-market parts, though that's not because I'm trying to keep things pure, or even to protect my warranty. Replacing most of the fasteners with stainless may have negated that already!
A great year anyway. One which has seen me spend probably more than I should have but getting the bike the way I want it is worth it. Not that it's anywhere near finished yet but it will do for now as I've got some miles to get in.
