Maiden voyage

The first day (July 18 2016) I put some miles on it to get the feel of it and sort things out.
I rode different places and different roads, both rural and urban.
It rides surprisingly smooth on the highway with the rigid rear end but urban riding with bumps, tram tracks and so ain't the nicest rides I've done.
But overall it turned out as I planned and expected.
Now I just I'm just gonna keep sort it out over the summer until the winter darkness strikes Sweden and the fluorescent light in the Speedshop is on for the winter.

First stop Thomas at Tekmo Service

Next stop Caveman Choppers

And in the evening a nice trip to the "Cars & Coffe" at Nääs outside town


And finally I could lock up the little beast in it´s cage back home
Today was a GOOD day !!


Registration inspection

The final inspection step is the registration inspection.
This time it's the government who will call the shots.
But with the solid SFRO documentation it's just a formal step.
Some measurements of the bike, weighing and a test drive.
Then all the official data went in to the computer system and out came a registration number.
And two days later the flat brown box with the actual plate arrived.
Smack that on the bike and a insurance was left before the maiden voyage.

The weight verdict was 200kg/440lbs

Sound inspection

One step more done.
Soundcheck also went according to plan.
Went under the legal limit of 84dB with a healthy 80,2dB average over four passes.
Now just the registration inspection and vehicle inspection remains done by the national technical inspection that I'm hope to make in a couple of days.
