    New toy today

    Hi all, well - got a new toy today to replace the VTR250!

    Up to Auckland last night with a mate, some beers at his place and then try to sleep then breaky in the morning... straight to Triple X moto in the morning to pick up my MV 910R!! Already had a New WOF, New Reg, New M3's, Full Service so away we go!

    Came back to TGA via Paeroa, then down thru Te Aroha to good ol Oak for a quiet beer and reflection (reflection = talk shit). Met up with some good KB people (what were your screen names again?) and had a blast.

    Back home and park new toy in garage. What an amazing day

    Thanks to Doc for the tips, thanks to Finn (for letting me buy his bike) and DMNTD for leaving me in the dust up the Kaimai's on the way home!

    This was the best advice cheers TripleZee:

    FUEL economy? What the F&*K is that! Credit Card... meet MV Tank, MV Tank.. meet Credit Card. I know you are going to like each other.

    Cheers

    Awesome choice of a bike

    So how does it feel? From 250 V twin to the 910?


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
