Hi guys! Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I've been reading the posts on this forum (lurking only sounds marginally better than stalking) and I'm currently taking my Class 2 (got my test booked for Oct). I'm planning to sell my car and go back to a bike and I'm looking at getting the 650 Wee-Strom for touring (black/gray!). Never been touring before but I'm itching to get started.

 

So right now I'm hoping the old birds will be kind enough to help me out with some advice. My plan is to get a Wee from Looi's and start outfitting it in preparation for touring. I'd like to get your views on what I should get first to prioritise. I'm thinking crash bars/engine guards, H&B panniers and belly pan for a start while I run the bike in. So could use some input from you guys.

 

1. How'd you run in your bikes? Does the "keep it under 80 for the first 1000" still apply or just whack? Any problems/advice when running in?

 

2. What are the pros and cons of having the H&B plastic cases vs the aluminum ones? I'm thinking the aluminum ones are easier to store items since the shapes are more regular but which ones are more durable? Don't wanna pay and have it collapse in on itself if/when I fall (touchwood!). Any idea which ones are heavier?

 

3. I'm planning on keeping the bike pretty much stock since I favour fuel efficiency over performance. I don't plan on racing any time soon so just enough power for normal overtaking is all I really need (my colleagues always make fun of me for being a bit too safe when driving ...:shy:). Are there any items on the market that can help enhance fuel efficiency? Was reading some posts about certain sparkplugs some time back but don't quite follow (the extent of my mechanical knowledge is only good for Legos ... :slapforehead:. ).

 

4. Is it worth it to get a brand new bike or get a second-hand Wee? My last bike was a Super 4 so no road experience with big bikes. It's NICE to have a new bike but I also want to think long-term. Your views on this? How hard is it to find a second-hand Wee anyway? Don't see many of them on the road nowadays.

 

5. Any other views/input/suggestions/advice?

 

Apreciate your advice on this!

 

Meet up with these guys....see for yourself:angel:

 

I sum up ...The Vee and the Wee will rarely ever fail you:angel:
