Just kidding my friend, congrats on the new purchase!
 
Thanks guys. Cant wait.

i could have had it next thursday, but decided to wait a couple of weeks extra as the new plate will help a little on re-sale. (plus im a plate snob!)

Ive already got a list of things to do.

firstly insurance (get some cheap)

need to sort out a sat nav
then fairly soon want to sort out some hard luggage, i like the look of the sw-motech rack with givi boxes.

Re: ive gona and done it!

thought i would update this thread rather than start a new one.

I picked up my blue K8 on Saturday.

i brought it home in my van as its not road legal yet.

The bad news, it has to sit in my garage for over a week, until the 1st spetember, all cos i had to get a 58 plate :mad:

I wanted it at home as it would have sat in the showroom for the week. didnt fancy it getting used as a sofa for tyre kickers.

All i can say about the bike is...wow!

in the sun, the blue and black paint is stunning!

Ive done about half a mile on it, down the private alleyway behind the houses, didnt need more than first gear though and only about 30mph reached very briefly.

Really cant wait for next monday :cheerleader:

boy I hope you got some rest the last couple weeks because the next couple are gonna suk... closer it gets, the less sleep you get.... :rofl:
 
Re: ive gona and done it!

You are right, the first night after bringing it home was a long'un

I have a wireless baby monitor in the garage as security, it sends audio to a monitor in the bedroom thats always on. I kept waking up thinking i heard things!!

If you havnt got one though, its a great security device, could give you that extra few seconds to get your clothes on and find the rusty hammer before they get to your hayababy.

Re: ive gona and done it!

Its a UK plate

we change plate prefix twice a year, in march and in sept

at the moment we are on an 08 prefix, next mon it changes to a 58 prefix, so everyone will see next week that its the bikes first day on the road.
