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.

Hi Chris Heres hoping you enjoy your new bike in safety.
BTW I noticed the (: next to your location.Just remember it could be a lot worse. You could actually live in Hull
Enjoy the club mate

But isn`t it always dark and raining in Hull?

[chris99]

Hull is ok i guess. Shame its the wrong end of the year to get a bike though.

Hi Deej,

Have you ridden a duke yet? If not your in for a shock. Its nothing like the R6 at all. It feels like a tractor but it sounds and goes well.
