Currently on tour in Spain and it’s fabulous...

Apart from when it’s snowing

111 cubic inches yesterday, 12 today. I love the big Indian but the Vanvan 200 makes me smile all the time

Awesome wee app if you have few bikes and cars. Put reg in and it alerts you before your mot/tax is due. Gives history. I just dropped my bike off and got an alert to tell me its passed garage hasn't even phoned me.

Had to go into work for meetings at silly o'clock so thought would get the bike out as the sun was shining... It was bd cold.

Looks good, a clue to which app it is would help no end!

This - US10... absolutely battered as well. It's been down the road twice ... over 10yrs old ... but is still waterproof and holds my laptop, etc.

[SBDJ]

It's impressively clean looking for a 10 year old bag - both my US-20 and US-30 are absolutely filthy!

dinny be a dick, its the format of it changing it from the old one its rotten

Firestorms days are numbered, absolutely loved the MT, still not a massive fan of some areas of the bike but I do love the overall aggressive look of the thing, suits its character and who cares when your riding it, was a riot, demo bike was decatted and sounded epic even with the std can.

Cant afford an SP but ill be more than happy with the base model.(in black I think), only real area I thought might be better was the brakes, didnt have much in the way of initial bite I thought(even over the Storm...)

Im pretty sure ill go down the MT10 route but out of balance and curiosity, ive a S1000 R test ride booked in on Friday, ive discounted the Triumph on price and poke but IMHO its the best looking of the super nakeds, ridden my friends GSX1000-S which is also a stonking bike but doesnt have the fun factor of the MT that's for sure.

The paper bit is pretty much irrelevant nowadays, it’s the online piece that matters.

I know, the old one was just nice on the eye, this is fking horrendous. Its quite nice having a 20 year old bikes mot history in full, you wouldn't understand I'm surprised you know what one is.

S1000R Brakes will impress. Engine is typically German, incredibly good at doing what it needs to do, but not a huge amount of character. Be interested to hear what you think, as I really like the look of an Mt-10, but own an s1000r.
