Got my bike today. Action said they would deliver it but I had to go and pick it up in the end.
On the way down to Redditch on my TDM, I was having second thoughts. The TDM is a comfortable and great handling bike and much underated. I was worried about the laid back riding position and perceived low ride of the America.
After the paperwork and tour round the bike, I set off. A bit nervouse (new bike) but was glad there were no spectators.
A bit of a wobble pulling away over the speed bump (wide bars + heavier bike )another wobble on the first left at the end of the road (new brakes), and a sharp stop (and wobble) when car came screaming from the right at the junction to come around the back of the dealers. After that, plain sailing. By the time I got on the Birmingham road (1.5 miles) I had a smile like a w*nking Jap !
