It's good to see you back Eddie, I don't visit here much myself but have wondered how you're getting on.
Now then with that rack we need to see another remake of the advert on Gold Hill
Good to see that you are still alive and kicking as well.
I already have a love hate relationship with the front rack. The load carrying capacity is great, but it is a bit disconcerting not being able to see the front tyre when riding off road. I suspect that night riding with it is also going to be interesting.
I'm actually planning on redesigning how it is mounted, and rather than having it bolted on, I plan to make it quick hitch. It should be easy enough to, and will make it more versatile.
I also intend to rig up something similar for the rear, to enable a large cargo bot to be fitted, for firewood collecting.
The bike is certainly a tank, and just as ugly.
My first accessory was my first extra battery!
I have certainly always had two batteries on the go with all of my previous bikes, but I'm not really worried about it on this one, as I don't intend for any epic rides.
Today was a miscalculation based upon looking at the day console, and my prediction that that partially charged battery should of easily completed the ride below. I need to investigate the battery power bar settings on the console, but might start a separate thread about that. I have read that other bike owners ignore the displayed setting, and use the one on the battery itself.
