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.
