I set off for the dealer's at 11:00 am and my sat nav froze in the middle of the unfamiliar town. I found somewhere to pull off the road and reset it and found that I was only a mile off course.

A quick tour of the bike and I set off for home 35 miles away. First impressions are that you sit higher on the bike than my old Burgman but nonetheless comfortable. Mirrors were not as bad as I thought they would be. Different vibrations from the Burgman but I'll get used to that.

I threaded my way through town and eventually hit the open road and whoosh, wow the difference an extra 200cc and 17hp makes. It feels sure footed and stable. At last I'm able to pass two three cars without having to make an appointment - terrific.

Nearer home in semi rural Wiltshire and I pass a young female driver who is adjusting her coiffure then come up behind a large tractor with muck spreader behind. I notice that there is also guy on a "proper" bike behind me. At a suitable spot I check mirrors, indicate and do a lifesaver and open up the throttle whoosh - past the tractor and doing around 70 mph. The biker isn't having any of that and blats past me as I'm slowing down again and he disappears into the distance. I hope he felt better for that.

Home again and give my wife a great big hug.

Fitted a permanent connection for my battery tender, fitted RAM Mount on left hand brake master cylinder and a new home county badge on the screen. Tomorrow I'll fit my top box.

That's day one

Nice story...and congrats on your new SWing. I had a Majesty 400 and
Swing is just so much more powerful that it makes it fun. Glad to hear you
got home safe and hope we get to read your next story soon.

congrats cheers this is the first big scoot ive owned and i have to say the more i ride the more i want to ride its so much better than expected (always geared bikes) with the exception of a 180 2 stroke runner and a benelli 125 ,whats even more fun is when you go with the sportsbike cyclops

hope you enjoy as much as i think you will
