I was just reviewing my fuelly figures and I seem to be averaging 48 MPG.
However.... I've managed to get a best of 86 MPG on a rainy day when I put it in B mode and ended up on a huge stretch of motorway roadworks which limited me to 50mph because of average speed cameras and I've managed a...
Doesn't look like there's any discount for MT-09 stuff but I know some of you have other bikes.

I took the MT in to get new tyres today and they've given me an XJ6 demo bike to get around on until I pick it up later.
Jumping on the XJ...... It's...... it's............. it's so beige!
What a non-descript anonymous bike.
It brought into sharp relief what a really bloody good bike the MT is...
Is anyone scraping their pegs on a regular basis on normal roads?
I'm not, but this is because my boots are hitting the deck first.
What about the rest of you? Is anything scraping?

Anyone using a SCHUBERTH C3 PRO helmet?
I'm looking for a new lid and tried out a few today. Fell in love with the C3 Pro.
Anyone here been using one who'd like to comment how they like or loathe it?
Dunno why, it just entered my head how awesome it would be if I could activate a Stuka style siren whilst 'bombing' down the motorway.
Car drivers would freak :)
Apparently the real deal was a large wind driven affair which actually knocked about 15mph off the top speed. Not suitable for a...
Bought off some geezer on ebay who sounds like he made it in his shed.
Unfortunately it's not actually carbon fibre and is about twice as heavy as the OEM item, but it was cheap and it looks the part :)
Guess who's clearing out his garage....? :)
Well the next item that I no longer use is my bike lift.
This foot operated lift with is 580Kg capacity is ideal for raising sitting framed bikes.

Up for sale is my Biketek motorcycle dolly. This great bit of kit allows you to put your bikes center stand on it so it's then easy to move around your garage.
I used to ride my bike into the garage, put it on the dolly and then spin it around ready ride out again (as it was awkward to reverse...

Yamaha LED Flashers fitted all over with a new relay instead of resistors and Carbon mudguard up front.
Carbon chainguard to be fitted when I get new tyres and carbon hugger in post.
Curse you internet shopping! :)
Well I got the mail today informing me the Carbon front mudguard is available (amongst other stuff).
Nice enough but I was rather hoping they were going to make an extended one rather than something that's good for nothing too :(

Mr Humphreys, 60, made his request after being charged with failing to notify the DVLA that his motorcycle was off the road.
The Yamaha MT family grows even stronger
It was June 11th 2013 when Yamaha surprised the biking world with the announcement of the imminent arrival of the naked motard MT-09.
Right from the beginning we made it clear that this new bike would be the first model in the MT family, and it was...
Well, I've had my Pyramid Plastics Rear Hugger Extender fitted for a couple of weeks now and in the last few days have had to ride through everything from light showers to downpours, and the verdict.......?
As far as I can tell it does naff all.
The back of the bike still gets covered in crap...
If anyone's replaced their standard seat and is looking to get rid of it please let me know.
I've had mine remodeled and it's ace, but I always like to have all the bits so that I can make it standard again should I ever want to.
Yeah, I know this section is for MT-09 stuff but I know a few of you have Triumphs in the garage too....
Up for sale is my rather lovely Genuine Triumph retro style leather jacket suitable for someone with a 46" chest.
It looks great and is very comfortable.
In very good condition with...
