Gixer thou handling problem

It's a lardy, slow-steering pig.

Or, at least, that's what it's going to feel like after riding the RGV
(courtesy of its new MOT).

It's like riding a child's toy. Engine: sheer half-pint-sized insanity.
Weight: less than Kate Moss after a large dump. Handling: flops over
sideways like a one-legged vertiginous drunkard.

I'll be taking the long route home this evening.

 

Heh, I just got home from a quarter-pint-sized[1]'B' road whizz on GFR#2
after a successful[2] MoT. Needs better tyres though. The ancient
Dunlops on it don't do it justice.

[1] Probably more correctly described in weights and measures terms as a
gill-sized, but that might be misinterpreted.

[2] Managed to ditch the ugly black tape masking the headlamp by
applying the Piaggio endorsed official bulb twisting bodge.

Those engines get completely gummed up when pootled around like a scooter
for prolonged periods, so really, I wouldn't bother.

 

Been at the pub, ain't I.
