Tomorrow afternoon unless anything dire happens en route. Forecast is rain then second part of the afternoon is sunny. I wonder if I can get half day!

It will be on my private drive and behind a wooden gate / fence. I intend to use the bike as often as I can. I think I had two days where I wanted to use the bike and chose not to over the winter as conditions were too bad. The most I see it stains with the cover on would be a week or so if I was away, other than that I intend to use it. So the cover is really for overnight use mainly.

For the foreseeable future I will need to store the XJ6 outside. Anyone have recommendations on type and size of cover? I was looking at the OXFORD stormex in Medium. Will that fit? Any other recommendations?

I'm thinking this could be a new type of security device

I think they will start charging for a lot of things. From what I hear W10 will be the last version of windows to be released under a traditional major version model. So online updates are going to be important - maybe even chargeable. Then you have O365 and apps as you say.

I installed W10 on my sons laptop a few weeks ago. He says drivers are still a bit iffy but W10 in general is better than W7 (for him - but he is a youngster!).

If you do not like W8 try installing classic shell or stardock. Made it palatable for me.

Don't install if you have a touchscreen. Not yet anyway.

Amazing level of dedication to getting it right. Love it.

I've found that as you get older time seems to pass that much quicker - until now! Waiting on my XJ6 to get delivered and it's taking too long. Lol.

First time for me too. If confronted with it again I will be doing what I did this time. Transfer to a new policy. They waived the fee if I did that. Then cancel immediately (you have 14 days to cancel) for a full refund less what you have used. Worked out for me this time although I used 10 days worth of insurance - which was great as I wanted to test ride a few bikes in that time anyway.

Just had a similar experience with CN. I took out a new policy so as not to get charged (£50 in my case). Then I cancelled the new policy within the 14 days with no admin charge levied, just prorated use. (I cancelled after 10 days.) I then went with AF - eek - as they were one of the only ones who would insure me!

You can't fix stupid! Let the clip shows have it. Your accent is what they are really after.

What camera are you using captf?

If by that you mean a centre stand - I might get that too

And now I need to figure out what to do with the YBR

The accessories will be: heated grips. Handle guards, hugger, tail tidy, crash bungs, usb power, scotoiler, fly screen! I think that's it! Feels a bit like Christmas. Any other suggestions?

Well I just bought an XJ6-N ABS in white. Now the wait begins. Getting some accessories fitted in the meantime. Can't wait!

Lol

Dealer pointed me at an FZ8. That's too much bike for me at the moment. Looked nice though.

I think I will end up being a bike a year type so hopefully time and opportunity to try different things. I did prefer the VTwin but I think the XJ6 will be the better beginners bike from the off. Ye pays yer money and take yer chances I guess. If I change my mind I can change the bike.

Yep I preferred everything about the MT07 to the Diversion other than the ride itself. I am looking at various XJ6s. I prefer the look of the naked for sure and I see a few abs examples (not much though). I have seen more diversion or diversion f examples with abs. I would probably be ok with a fairer or half faired example although I have been wondering (and googling) whether it would be possible to get to the naked look from the diversion should I get one. That's a nice bike. Does yours have ABS? Selling?

Yep I am looking at them right now. I did want to buy from the dealer (had a good experience there) but I think it's going to be ebay / auto trader. I instantly liked the XJ6. I know I could learn to like the MT07 but I think it will be the XJ6 for the first bigger bike. I prefer the naked look over fully faired. I prefer the noise of the twin over inline 4. The XJ6 really is more than the sum of its parts based on just a 40 minute test ride today.

Test ride of both today. Very good fun. I think I prefer the XJ6. Was almost ready to purchase but I really want an ABS bike.

Ok first test ride booked for mt07 abs.
