Ah ha guys. Sorry for no post recently life's taken over too much. Anyway still loving the RnineT, riding most days to work, customers or just fun. Yes the suspension isn't good yet you get used to it. The power is good enough for our roads in my view and it handles so well.

Yes I've still got the beard but luckily my fat arse keeps people's eyes away from it.

Glad to see you're still enjoying it.

When I saw this old thread pop up I thought you were changing again

No slipper yet I've 8 pairs of open race goggles instead . Monty still has my pipe as well.

Added a coolio retro pannier one side which works well and the support frame isn't noticeable when no pannier on.

Maybe looking for some adjustable forks next but the standard bikes fun enough.

Oh and me changing bikes, well that's changing now I'm self employed again. I'm keeping my head to the ground in case I can find a nice old school project bike to work on...

I still shout "Burger" and point like the monkey from Family Guy every time Sarah bends over naked. Never gets old, so she tells me!
