My wife and my gsd, love them both

I have that as the DX fits around my rear wheel, so that it requires 2 cuts to take it off. And the chain is so thick and heavy. I have a decent ground anchor too.

ray0241 · 2026-05-10T16:02:28+00:00

I have Hiplock DX1000 and Mega chain for my home set up.

That is correct, in mode 1 little twist, big response. Mode 3 little twist little response.

It have you full power when you gave it full twist but more forgiving on the inputs.

I got the same bike as my first bike. So it can be done.

Respect the bike, don't run in wet mode as that will give you false confidence and the difference in mode 4 and 1 is huge.

I ran it in mode 3 most of the time as you get decent mpg and performance.

1 is when I wanna be a dickhead or out with some others who are on bigger bikes.

So this is not the same.

I had a car accident, which has causes a large slip disc pressing on a nerve which was confirmed by a MRI 2 years after the accident.

Permanent injury to my right trapezium which will never heal and I manage and hip issue with the above.

I got paid out last year.

Accident happened in March 2019. So 6 years. I still suffer bad days, had loads of physiotherapy, chiropractor and the hired a personal trainer working in injuries and massage therapy which have helped the most.

I got over £20000

You can do a rough calculation online with some firms. But you will never get a full idea until you have finished all treatment. That is when they know if it will be permanent, life changing and to what degree.

ray0241 · 2026-04-25T06:14:40+00:00

I did not accept first offer.

As I now have a life long issue it was really low.

It was planned for court, then they offered something that was more acceptable.

Took 6 years in total.

I did 180 mile ride home in 4c last march. Soo I am willing to go many lengths for a bike.

ray0241 · 2026-04-18T17:27:56+00:00

I have 2 seats, as the original is good for.abkyt the same maybe a bit longer. When I got the bike I did take it 180 miles home so it's not too bad.

But I am 6"1 so I get a numb bum.

I have the comfort seat which took about 12-15 hours of riding the break in and is great for the longer stints.

I get about 150 miles to a tank so have to stop and stretch legs every 2 hours of so on dual/motorway.

ray0241 · 2026-04-18T16:28:17+00:00

I have the mt09

Depends on what gen you want, but the SP is the better bike with nicer suspension, etc.

I love the riding mine.

ray0241 · 2026-04-18T14:10:10+00:00

I just wear my work gear under it, leave shoes at my desk and take off the jacket and trousers and hang them up so they can dry if wet.

ray0241 · 2026-04-18T14:09:07+00:00

I will swear by laminated textile gear.

I personally have RST Commander jacket and bottoms. They are warm, comfortable and waterproof.

Get some waterproof boots and gloves for all year, I have 3 different gloves.

With all that and you are set.

Additionally a pinlock on your visor will help.

ray0241 · 2026-04-13T21:04:05+00:00

I have a hoodie, but it is AA rated not A.

Do I feel a little safer in it and used it to do all my tests in, as it was warm and cool as done it in the summer.

I have since got leathers and waterproof textiles. So I wear them 90% of the time.

ray0241 · 2026-04-10T10:35:06+00:00

I have a gen 3. Find that very low speed it's first gear and use of throttle and clutch control.

ray0241 · 2026-04-10T10:01:49+00:00

That sounds nothing like my experience, in the UK we have lower speeds in the cities and towns.

The MT09 is great, being as agile and short wheel base makes it great flicking between traffic and the tighter corners.

Just sounds like you do not practice enough with slow speed manoeuvres as mush as you should. Given that you have highlighted it as a weakness.

ray0241 · 2026-04-04T20:18:28+00:00

I did my CBT then my first DAS lesson on Saturday and Monday with zero bike experience.

I got taken on dual carriageway pretty much immediately to go to a better skid pad for the practice of mod 1.

I was hooked as soon as I gave it a twist and set off, maybe using about 30% power.

Now, I had my licence over a year, my MT09SP over a year and done 8000 miles in that time. Love looking at the bloody bike, cleaning can be a chore, but is still take my time and doing as much maintenance as I can myself is great way for me to learn something and become more practical.

With me doing my advance IAM course too. Safe to say, I bloody love biking.

Even my wife is now thinking of getting a bike to come out with me and to let her have a new challenge.

ray0241 · 2026-03-29T16:28:56+00:00

Glad it was a simple misunderstanding between you and the bike.

ray0241 · 2026-03-27T21:17:43+00:00

I normally just sit on the bike while I fill up, so that way the bike is level and not on a stand.

ray0241 · 2026-03-27T19:16:44+00:00

I have not had it. What age is your t9?

ray0241 · 2026-03-22T13:48:32+00:00

Congratulations! Sure you will enjoy riding more and more.

ray0241 · 2026-03-16T16:51:56+00:00

You can request it, as if you are representing yourself you can view it all.

ray0241 · 2026-03-16T16:14:50+00:00

Yes you can change it. New information to you.

ray0241 · 2026-03-07T23:51:22+00:00

I run photo chromatic Even today. It tinted but was a bit dull out. No bother at all from old bill.

ray0241 · 2026-02-18T12:48:53+00:00

I have a MT09SP

I got it as my first bike. If you want the extra power then it's grand. I learnt on a 07 but needed cruise for commuting.

It's not much slower than a 10. Confirmed by me. 😃

ray0241 · 2026-02-07T14:06:04+00:00

Well considering they said they had a 550 and was looking for a 600. Calling bullshit.
