meeting at cowfold sounds good to me,

+1 brace yourself for the big breakfast wait 

Tony Blair was one of the best Prime Ministers the UK have had since Adam was a lad. His biggest mistake was he stayed to long.
The Labour party is unelectable with Corbyn or even without him the British public are sick of the same old socialist crap, that was why new Labour was invented.

+1 Blair was the best UK PM for the last 20 years. No wonder he won 3 elections.

Nothing wrong with Corbyn.

 

You mean except nobody from the general public wants to vote for him 

I mean seriously he is by far too extreme.

Emmanuel Macron has beaten the french nazi today

Okay new challenge then. How about your bike parked up beside a Harley Davidson, this is just to take the bad look of the HD.

Lew I am guessing here you haven't read the rules do you? More specifically the rule number seven... 

7. No other bikes can be used, eg, your bike next to a Ducati.

  Gonna need new challenge I am afraid 

I know plenty of foccers do MT09 nowadays.

There has been a recent MT09 handlebars recall.

FYI you can check your MT09 here:

https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/services/modification-checker/index.aspx

You can get there all recall letters in pdf. Useful if yours is used like mine and you can't receive letters from Yamaha.

The nice bit is you will see there all recalls for your specific VIN.

There has been some shift and transmission issues, and headlight recalls with some VINs too.

Have you heard the anouncement, it explains a lot about her 

! No longer available

MT 09?? Anyone buy one? Looking for some reviews from people on here... Snatchy throttle etc..

I like it so much that after I've written off one and I have a second one now 

I mean seriously I love the bike. It is brilliant. The throttle is a little snatchy, but that is compared to the smooth carb Fazer. Mine is 2015 model. I believe in the 2017 model that have been fixed. Some people do ECU flash and throttle remap for the older ones. Or you can just leave it and don't bother. Even the older model has 3 modes, A is the most aggresive. Next is STD. The most relaxed is B mode. The snatchy throttle manifest itself by just bike been too much on/off in low revs 3000-4000. If you ride on bumpy road its annoying. But I just switch to B mode and snatchy trhrottle disappears. And just rev the tits out fo it. Whcih is more fun anyway. Or ride in higher gear if you want to save fuel and again there is no snatchiness.

It is very frugal bike some people report 52-55 mpg. The bike is so much fun I really doubt you can make that. On twisty roads here my mpg is 40.

The bike makes 75mph in 2nd gear and almost a ton in 3rd. That means if you ride it in twisties on 2/3 it has so much torque that you will save a fortune on brake pads no need to use brakes at all  the bonus point is the howling sound that the triple engine makes is pure fun.

Also 2017 model has suspension improvements. I am fine with mine model.

So yes highly recomended bike, in fact I can't stop smiling 

Similar thoughts re not taking a risk. My back protector was designed to function without a back pack - I like my back.

 

And I hate top boxes mostly because I am old and mounting the bike is major PITA with a top box. Also motorway wind.

Hence I use this Jofama tail bag - it is huge 52 L. Work clothes, shoes, laptop, food boxes and still have place left in the side pockets: http://www.bykebitz.co.uk/jofama-bag.html
 

Have you caught a picture of a buzard in your left wing mirror

Yes I saw that too now, how good I am 

Sporting interest and a buzard as a bonus 

Anyhow do you accept it guys? That is why I have done 2 pictures to show the plaque. It is not easy to find sporting interest commemorative plaques around.

I have got Metzler on my 600. Good tyres but they have a limit and slide sometimes. Although in controlled predictable way. I have changed to Michelin PR3 and the difference in cornering is huge. 

Next challenge your bike and a statue.

Gone to the Dark side here is my new MT09

Can u not stash the bike somewhere for a few munfs and see how u get on with the mt ?

Unfortunately need to sell it...
