Picking up my Helius AM today. But am laid low with miserable man flu. Could MTFU and get on with it but that’s what I did last week when this was coming on and needless to say it is now ten times worse. Have so far avoided daytime telly.

Think of it as extending that wonderful thing known as ‘new-bike-feeling’

Once it’s ridden you never get it back 😉

Jeez, you’ll be fine, it’ll only be a couple of days. I’m sure you’ll survive. I once picked up a new bike when I had a broken collar bone…

You could always break your leg and feel worse. Or just feel crap like me generally.

Polish it with some nice car wax. I’d suggest Mcguires as it smells of bubblegum. Then get it all helitaped up and so on. Perhaps adjust some bits and what not.

Then go and look at pron.

I like the cut of your jib.

Great shout. Going to get it now (wearing 2 jumpers and 2 coats – so coooollllldddddd) and will fiddle with my bits when I get back.

Like any man on a day off with access to the internet needs to be reminded to look at pron. I’d be surprised if OP doesn’t have crunchy folding socks by the end of the day, new bike and a day off = Onanism on a grand scale.
