Nice, I'm chuffed for you.

We should head out next weekend for a cruise.

Whens it getting taxed?

Hi Nick -

Carole Nash should be sending me the paperwork, which means I can get it taxed next Saturday - can't do it any sooner than that.

[Taz666]

Why can`t you tax it online? I`ve done it with my Gixer and several of my cars.


Oh and nice looking bike, the look on your face (Presumably its you) reminds me of when I took delivery of my SV650K3 all the way back in 03.

Did it come with the mannequin?

[Schmeeky]

I can remember the feeling - there's nowt better than getting your first proper bike! Getting your first nod from another biker will be a buzz - at least it was for me - you're a full member of the club....

Happy days Sossige! Have fun and ride safe!

Ive just got a similar bike but its a 250. Called a Yamaha Zeal but is an improt so most people don't know what it is. Great bike for everything and yours has twice the power! How big are those crash bungs?

Hi Taz -

I can't do it online because the bike won't be in my name yet - paperwork won't be with the DVLA yet.

That is me sat on the bike, although I look very serious for some reason. Absolutely chuffed with the bike

They are reasonably sized aren't they? They are only R&G bungs, nothing out of the ordinary. I think they are large like that because of the angled fuel tank, which would presumably be one of the things to hit the deck first.

[Carl-H]

They look bigger than other but most of the ones I see are on sportsbikes which are made to look smaller because of the fairings and that. Look good but look really big (circumference) on that last photo.

[Sossige]

Maybe. Main thing I guess is that they aren't in the way and that they will do the job that's intended, if need be.

Looking forward to getting it out on the road and getting some better photos.

Nice looking bike! SWMBO has a Hornet as a first bike, and has been happy with it.

Sounds like you're finding out the meaning of frustration as well. I don't think I'd have the patience to wait until next Saturday

I'm away on business during the week anyway, so I couldn't ride it even if I wanted to; although I'd love to take it for a spin tomorrow.

Patience is a virtue and all that....

[Dudd]

Not long now...

It'll be worth it all the more.

My first bike i had to bribe a mate to take me to pick it up. People love beer though...

[black-k1]

Nice bike! I hope you have many happy miles together.

Ride safe and enjoy.
