There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Sorry, who are you?

Just thought I'd poke my head in and say hello

I'm still running that ugly Versys, but it's being sold soon to make way for a 2017 model MT-09 in blue.

Not going for the Tracer as I don't need a touring bike any more, the Versys took me everywhere I'd ever planned to go and did 19 countries with me in the seat (13 of them in 3 days). My newly rebuilt CBR600 racebike is staying as my trackday tool. I've done a little racing since my last org visit - I wasn't bad when I stayed upright, top ten places when I did, major injuries the twice I didn't - but I've given that up because my battered body can't take much more and my eyesight is failing. As I can have fun on track to get my fast thrills with the CBR I'm looking for a fun upright bike for road use and the MT-09 fits the bill perfectly.

Does the new bike come with one of those emergency red buttons like my dad's sheltered housing place? So when you find yourself laying under the bike in the garage you press the button and help comes a bit like if he has a fall.
