I've reserved a bike (monster 821) and sitting the mod 2 in the next few days... so close but so far! fingers crossed all goes to plan.. :grimacing:
Update; passed (somehow), drove straight to the dealer to confirm my order and options - looking forward to developing my riding skills on the new toy and can't wait to get those db killers out of the termi's to give it some stick
yep totally get that - really looking forward to just riding around, developing my skills and enjoying the bike.. i've no interest in getting my knee down just yet
welcome and congrats.. Make sure to post pics of the new stead when it arrives. As the others have said take care. it is the most fun you can have with ya trousers on but there is thousands of idiots in tin boxes out to get ya and plenty of shit rds with a mind to fuck up your bike... that said, get out there and enjoy. As long as you have your wits about you, the reward far out ways the risk. good time of year too!
so it has not been the smoothest ownership experience so far and it turned into a bit of a saga with the original bike turning out to be a lemon. bike #2 currently being run in ready for the 1st service next week... worth the wait though - love it!
Proper colour too Welcome oldie newbie into the mad house you slipped through the net first time of posting
Welcome and sorry to hear about the first bike but hope you enjoy the new one. I've had my 821 Stripe for 8 months now and absolutely love it. Good luck.
