I can imagine. My No.5 will knock you on your ass if you aren't ready for it.

Finally getting out and about and getting some stuff done around recent obstacles (another freaking trip to the Pokey. Grrrrrr..... As some know, 2LZ ain't the healthiest Bandito on CR).
ANYWAY!

1- Got the Grip Puppies mounted. The stock grips are minuscule.
2- Bar risers. LOVE THEM!
3- Royal Enfield Fly screen! It's a super nice piece.

a bike is easier to own than a firearm in Australia.

but that being said CZ firearms are readily available compared to CZ motorcycles....

I was eyeballing a couple of Continental GT rigs that the local Ural/RE dealer has in stock. If I wasn't staring at some expensive dirt work coming up...

With our canyons here, the Conti GT would be a blast.
I was able to put on about 40 miles yesterday. Still trying to get it to the 300 mile break in service. I'm about half way there now, thanks to the weather. More riding today.

I can tell you this cheesy, I've NEVER ridden such a nice shifting bike. Best transmission I've ever used...and it's still new. Also, it's no HP monster @ 47....but the torque delivery is virtual perfection. From low on up in a graceful curve. The bike is a true pleasure to ride. So far, I'm really lovin it.

There are things to do, of course. I scoured the internet on "issues" to be addressed out of the box. Apparently, RE uses GOBS of white grease on the four relays behind the side cover. I guess it monsoons annually in India. Some folks say it's the grease, some say the stock relays are junk, most don't. Apparently, there have been scant reports of new bike cutting out because of this. So, being a good China Rider, as soon as I got it home, I cleaned out all the white grease (there was a s--tload) and replaced the stock four relays with Bosch units, along with dielectric grease. I now have the stock relays in back stock, just in case. Total cost for the Bosch relays delivered was 24.00. Cheap and no more possible worries. So far, that's the only thing I've heard of.

Being a China Rider, it's amazing to hear what other folks make such a big deal about. So far, this thing has been cake to wrench on. Nothing's hidden. You should at least take the Continental GT for a test ride!

I took an Interceptor 650 on a test ride a couple years ago. Except for the location of the rear brake pedal, it brought a smile to my face. It was comparable to the Maggot in ride and handling, yet with 3 less HP and an extra 150cc, it still had some impressive stones.

Even tho the Maggot is pushing 45 years old, it is paid for.

Congrats! Like what you've done with it so far. I also installed Powerage cans on my '20 INT nearly 2 years ago. Slimmer, lighter (8.95 lbs. lighter for the pair) and lets the engine run cooler. Almost 6000 miles now and no issues save for rusted throttle cables after the first winter. Still love it!

Good to hear! I'm looking forward to a great riding season. In the meantime, my right index finger keeps clicking on things for it. I have to stop that.....

Cleaning the bike up of stickers and reflectors, the axles looked naked, unfinished. I got bored and started digging through old boxes of parts of "bikes-gone-by" and remembered I had some chrome caps somewhere from Mrs. 2LZ old Sportster. Found 'em!

Not sure yet. Think I'll leave them on for a while and see if they grow on me.
