hi guys and many thanks for the welcomes. I live in Kidderminster and colour I went for was orange nice deep orange. nice to know there are a few close to me and we should all get together ride outs etc would be awesome. don't let my age fool you as I may be old in age but very young at heart
hi matey, yes I did and paid cash so got a good discount so I take it your not to far from me then ? shopping for goodies for it tomorrow lol. I think its due in next Friday
just wanted to say hello to everyone as yesterday at the age of 62 went and bought a new mt09 abs and should get it a week today. have had bikes since I was 13 yrs old including s4 monsters, sp2, zx6r, fz1n and a heck of a lot more. thought a year ago id give up biking but its always there in your blood so cant wait until next week now.
hi fizzy, to be honest 12 months ago I sold my last bike thinking right that's the end of bikes for me but once its in your blood it dosnt matter how old you are its there. as soon as I saw and did a load of reading up about the mt09 I thought ive got to have one of those and took me back many years ago thinking about the 350 ypvs I owned so its always there bubbling away inside. ive always loved my bikes and shooting with a passion and I did last 12 months without a bike lol. the forum is ace with lots of folks in my area with same bikes. today im up very early like a big kid excited about going out to bike shops buying goodies lolHi mate nice to see you still riding at you tender age I am 51 and been riding since I was 10, gives me hope for the future, you will love the mt enjoy the new bike and the forum

hi bollins, so where do you live in worcs then ? I picked orange as it was so deeper orange I just loved it. just been up to streetbike Halesowen but ended up back at motorcycle mart and bought a rad guard plus tail tidy. after a screen but want a short one plus dark tint .im getting a complete free akki system with mine when it arrive which should be with bike next Friday but wont fit until run in.
hi fizzy, I had a little chuckle after reading this and if I started counting now the bikes ive owned id be here a week. 2 times in the past 20 years ive owned 6 bikes at one time. cant wait to get mine should be bags of fun.You are totally right mate when I got the mt some of my mates said "what's it like" the only way I could get my point was to say it's like having a LC350 again
And has put the fun factor back into bike's for me yamaha should have called it a LC850!
And couple of years ago I was sat having a coffee on my own at a cafe near Scarborough and a old guy ( probably in his late 70s) shuffled up to the bike a r1 at the time and started looking at it and asked me questions about who was going to win at the TT, and what he thought about moto gp , then he said "how many bikes have you had son?"
I told him I didn't want to brag but it was over 50 he just paused for a moment and then said "once it's in your blood you're fucked!" and shuffled off
been through hagley this morning on way to streetbike. seems to be loads of mt09 bikes close to me so should be good for some rides.
many thanks mate and hopefully will get to meet soon and a few more by the sounds of things.
