I'm Going for practice and race week.
Miles, i started riding around Skipton, Ilkley, etc.. and regular Sunday ride to Devils Bridge. A few of us used to jump off. Those were the days! 250 LC and not a care in the world!
I went for the Street Shock... it came set up for my weight, riding style and main type of roads i ride. not had to touch the compression or rebound settings but i did adjust the preload slightly to get 30mm of rear sag. Bike deals much better, lots of support, and holds a stable line at any...
Welcome. you will love your MT09. Just change the shock once you get used to it, its not bad but you will understand why when you've ridden it a few times ;-)
