Hi ya'll! Quick intro. Just bought a new machine ... gets picked up mid next week. I'm not new to the brand as I'm one of the original MTOC (MT Owners Club). Back in the day I ran a 2005 MT-01 with an MT-03 as a side kick. We were known for terrorising rural Britain and Europe with mass ride outs. The proper 'Rolling Thunder' tours. Years of fun with KODO. Long story short had many, many bikes of all varieties. I generally ride big bore machines but always have a sports bike and a motard to play on. Made complete sense to me to get the MT-09 which will now support a 1700 big bore Thunderbird and an XT1200Z. Anyway, you'll get to know what I'm all about as I explore the limits and potential of the new bike. Looking forward to it and getting to know you all.
