Excuse my ignorance as I dont have a clue about this stuff. Why do you have to buy your bike back? Its your bike.. why wouldn't it just get returned to you?

Yeah man, part of the deal. Akrapovic Carbon full system.. it'll sound juicy.

I passsed!!! Congratulations, it's the best feeling. Now down to the important decision CB6650R or MT07? [/q[mention]TomAJ91[/men[mention]TomAJ91[/mention] I ordered my MT07 on Saturday, bang for buck is was unbeatable. Just wondering if I should have the baffles out on collection.

Thanks guys!!

So I passed my MOD2 on Friday with 2 minors! I ordered my new MT07 on Saturday with the Carbon Akra Exhaust so should be collecting that next week. Now I've been watching a lot of videos with the above setup and I can't work out if I should collect it with the baffle in or out? It sounds incredible with it out but wanted some opinions.

I passsed!!!

I want a Ducati Monster but the insurance is disgusting

As you passed on it and loved it, why didn't you stick with it?

I really can't decide on them, and what suits me best or what is considered the better purchase. The MT is cheaper, but insurance is £200 more expensive, had great low down power but lacks up top compared the CB. The CB is relatively new, but the MT is a tried and tested and considered one of the greatest middleweights you can get. I just keep on going in circles.

Woohoo! Passed my MOD1 today with a perfect pass which is great news, rode an XJ6 on a 60 mile round trip. The power was nuts and all I could think about is how the hell do you hang onto anything faster. My biggest tip I could give to anyone is do it in your own time, and only think about each exercise at a time, I was shitting myself about the swerve but managed to forget about it til it was actually time for it. FOCUS and breath. MOD2 next week!!!

Glad to hear that everything went well to get your bike back on the road. Thats probably a one in a thousand result in regards to how she handled it.

Tbh, I really wouldn't mind this as the AMGs sound beautiful.

I'd absolutely love to commute to work, but as Westbeef mentioned, I can't imagine it being particularly pleasant in minus godknowswhat mornings. I think I'm travel time would drop from an hour to 35 minutes. Plus aren't you paranoid about ice and what not?

Well done! Fair weather rider here too though a few times this years it's been sunny but a bit chilli so I've used my exhaust to warm my hands too. Might consider heated grips for such days - they're not expensive. First thing I added to my bike was heated grips as I ride pretty much all year unless it's REALLY bad (ice and high wind, maybe snow but that comes under ice.... Ill ride in heavy rain if desperate or been caught out by it but Id rather wuss out and take the car lol) I bought/got into this as a hobby/toy/learning something new so I'll try and avoid the rubbish weather as much as possible. I for some strange reason really do want to go out when its pissing down as seems like it could be quite relaxing (I'm sure its not)

That's actually a really good shout, I can just pop a pair in the cubby hole.
