    Thanks :) its my first street bike, only rode dirtbikes previously.. first time on it I knew I needed some practice before I took it on the road..
    its been a few years since I rode DB and ofcourse this is a much bigger engine and its touchy as hell. I give myself a couple weeks before I start cruising round with it :)

    I like the matching can, very slick.

    Remember to keep it rubber side down ;)

    thanks, ya the micron is aftermarket as well as the led lights on front and back so I was pretty happy with that :)

    Rubber down = good
    I'll remember that :)

    well wear lad.
    looks a very lean machine.
    by the by.. whats ur age and insurance. insurance is whats keeping me from getting one of the stronger bikes like this.

    congrats, mind it now

    Sweet! The matching can certainly sets it off alright

    Keep it between the ditches
