Well done Spud. Of course, after the TLS it may feel a bit slow but hey, its not like you're gonna exceed 100km/hr are you?

Have the kids got to sit on it yet?

I had a 109.99kph speed limiter installed on the TLS.

Good to know they're reputable - I'll be looking for a supplier to buy a 900ss from once I've got my full licence (hopefully 4th May).

Did think of a Monster originally but I'm over naked bikes now.

Noice boike Spud.

It sounds great!

First ride today, just to work and home again but I loved it. I toyed with the idea of getting a 600 class Jappa and am really glad that I didn't.

Shouldn't that be 107.99?

Thats a mint looking bike. Someones definitely spent sone coin on it. Its going to be a loooong wait till tomorrow!

Enjoy your new ride Spud. I'm jealous I must say. Saw some Multistradas that emoto had on trademe recently, I was tempted indeed.

Good to see that it's not going to have any hangers-on/hanger-onners, er pillions. They bugger the handling that's for sure.

1 sleep til you can go ridin again!
