    Waddya mean "FUTURE"?!! That's a classic right now! I guess that you, rightly, have a thing for underseat pipes! And high class rides (hopefull all three). And ..... well ...... nice bikes.

    All admirable stuff, so you're in the best of company. WELCOME. I doubt that there'll ever be quite this many lunatics assembled regularly on the MV Agusta forum, though ........

    Welcome! I'm a black Bonnie newbie myself. Talk about winter! Geez, we just got through a polar blast that took us to -20C! But yesterday it zoomed to 15C -whiplash! - and it seemed every biker around was out and about. Of course, the snow melt spray, full of salt, has pushed all of us back into the garage to clean up. So worth it, though. Now, to kick Feb to the curb . . .

    Thanks for the info re 44Teeth. ( still think it is an unusual name for a bike blog, sound more like a Dental Hygene blog to me !)
    I will have a look.
    MV needs a few quid spent on it as it was not ridden last year at all. I spent all of the finest summer since 76/77 doing up our house. New kitchen, heating etc etc.... . In fact the only miles I rode last year were on a test ride on the Speed Trip RS.
    So hoping for a good summer this year to make up for the miles lost last year. On the plus side the house now looks the borrocks and I have a contented wife !

    True . Will have to come up with a way to outsmart her....
    I have heard a few “ garden could do with a tidy up” phrases being uttered ...
    I guess this could well be code for “ yer summer was Ferked last year and it could be this year..”
    Can’t hear when I have my Arai on so will have to be up earlier than her..

    Thanks all for the warm and humorous welcome !
    I plan on getting a few miles in this year.
    One of our more usual trips was getting off to the MotoGP in Assen . The MV has been there many times although it was not the most comfortable way to travel. However it was fun when we got to the motorway over the Zuider Zee... miles of motorway to play on if you timed it right early on Sunday morning after the GP, on the way back to the ferry.
    Looking forward to getting the RS over there but this bike is a whole lot more relaxing to ride, not to mention being easier on the body !
    It is one of the reasons for the purchase - to slow down (a bit ) !
