So I had a little run around in the works car park to get a feel for the bike before I headed-off to join the Lincolnshire traffic. There are some cracking bends and straights ahead that I know will give me a good understanding of the bike. It manoeuvres well around stationary cars and feels solid; it is heavy and that does take some getting used to, but once you understand how to use the stability function it becomes easier to deal in slow or stopping traffic conditions.
Home is now in sight, never felt so good to see my ivy-marked house, the missus and Olly my little lad are at the window and are looking relieved. However, there was no need to fear my safe return as I was in the safe hands of the Metropolis — the next few weeks were going to be interesting…. I tried to get out on the Metropolis every other night to really get as much out of the test before I had to hand the keys, well key fob back.
My chosen location was Sleaford, a fairly busy town in Lincolnshire. Having ridden around town, I then made my way onto various country roads in a big loop to really get a chance to ride. My confidence is now up and the Metropolis becomes a very easy bike to ride. It has a secure compartment for your helmet and gloves and underneath the seat opening and it was also able to easily hold my work bag. There are five LED lights between the front wheels the lighting switch allows the option of either using these as running lights, or flicking a switch to swap over to riding on dipped headlights.
There are super big mirrors and a brake by your feet fitted as part of the package that makes the bike rideable on a car licence ; I never used it during my time testing, concentrating on using the standard style motorcycle brakes on the handlebars — and that felt comfortable.
