I did it
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

Hi Chris Heres hoping you enjoy your new bike in safety.

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.
