Been off here and realistically more or less off the bikes for a fair while now. Just popped in to say hello. Got a new mt09 a few weeks back in preparation for the good weather and really enjoying it. Anyone about the ards area looking a scoot give me a shout :grinning:

Cheers slim, I’d read all the hype and watched all the videos before I went to look at one in hursts. They certainly live up to it, don’t think there’s much else out there for the budget and spec. The engine is a real peach, lots of torque just where you want it for cruising the roads.

Thanks guys, had her out for a bit of time on track today. Stiffened everything pretty much all the way up and it’s really helped with the handling on the road and track. Was nice to get out and get better acquainted with her - had to wait to get the first service out of the way. Really should have taken the wee hero blob bits off but they helped keep things relatively sensible with the ocassional reminder from them to take it easy lol
