Just to thank you all for you help and advice. I picked up my shiney red 748s from MSO748s on tuesday. If you read this Mark thanks matey and hope your as happy with your Van as i am with the bike.
I rode it 250 miles home in the dark (and rain) but once i got more confident i started to enjoy myself(my last ride was 5 months ago on an R6 which ended in a broken femur)
Hope to make it to some of the meets and will no doubt be postin more on here from now on.
Chris
