It's a bent, not twisted
Dunno if it relates to this or not, but riding the bent keeps bringing out my m/c riding techniques, far more than the df ever did. On a m/c, you twist the throttle towards you to go faster ... do that with the right twist grip shifter and you go down a gear ie, slower. Going up through the gears feels like rolling off the throttle. It's weird. I must confess to being impressed by the clean changes and the easy shifting. I was expecting to be horrified by the twist grips but I'm not. Maybe in a few hundred kilometres my opinion will change.
The loooonnnnnnggggg chain is interesting - the term 'chain tension' means nothing. The bike has fallen a couple of times (blown off the sidestand, fell on me arse once, knocked over in the house) and everytime, the chain has bounced off the chain ring. Not a problem riding it ... yet.
Sorry my little princess, but I'm looking forward to you going back to your mother's so I can ride my new toy
