After a bit of a hiatus for some life changes (alright, it was 2yrs, I've been busy y' know), it's now action stations to start bringing you closer to a ride experience that'll redefine what you know about riding. I've now ordered and received the first ACT based Stealth Fighter, in a Tonka like yellow for safety/visibility. The colour similarity with large earthmoving equipment isn't entirely accidental.
First impressions of the new Fighter have been great, with weight eliminated from the earlier prototype, a slimmed down mid-section to make the bike easier to move around on and some under the hood changes that I'm not going to talk about...
It was great to be able to contrast the workmanship of the Stealth guys to my older Ethos FR7, a much loved and equally versatile rig that shares the same background of Australian manufacturing excellence and innovation. The yellow colour scheme is also a nod to the venerable history of the Ethos FR7 as a show bike for the early noughties, and it keeps the colour scheme consistent with the old kombi :-)
