Hi to all.

Hi guys

Names Mart, live in the N/East UK and my face has seen better days :)

Have had my M800 for six days and am thoroughly enjoying it, just wish it didn't sound like a moped and new pipes will be ordered after my wallet recovers from its motorcycle purchase fanny fit.

Think I'll have a soak in the bath and then go for tootle, retirement has its benefits :)

WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR PIPES TO ARRIVE DRILL OUT THE EXHAUST BACK PLATES AND HAMMER OR DRILL OUT THE CENTRE PLATES THROUGH THE MIDDLE MAKES A NICE DIFFERENCE!

Hi Mart 

  Mart!

 Mart...retirement has its good points.

Welcome aboard the site, ahhh the retirement starts here, cool.

Thanks guys, just got back, found a big fat rain cloud up near Durham with my name on it, bike now covered in road cack.

Oh well, time to give her a wash and get me leaf blower out...

hello and enjoy the cleaning its the thing I hate most

She's clean again, time for a big fat lasagne

Hi Mart - welcome on board.  Lovely part of the country you're from.  Sweet looking ride you have there. Enjoy the site - stay out of the rain

     Mart!  

 and    Mart.

Hi Mart and   tasty looking ride you have there m8

Welcome Mart.

Thanks again for all the welcomes guys, tis appreciated 

Good looking ride there Mart & ideal for some mods!!! 

I'm not usually one for lots of mods Pete as I like a clean and sleek look and subtlety is the order of the day for me, have bolted that screen on and rodded n drilled the zorsts, love that deep grumble she's making now.

I do want some luggage though and have been looking at the Kliklock stuff, but it sure aint cheap.

Howdy mart, and 

Looks like you've already settled in... Keep seeing your name in the word game

Re the bags, you don't necessarily have to spend a bomb... Sometimes you can get lucky with eBay etc.

But don't be tempted by anything that's cheap because it's puny and small... It won't look right on what is a pretty big bike, and it will hold f**k all. I got lucky with these...

Long thread but might give you some ideas... Cheers, Mal.

Hi Mart - I bought my Kliklock bags from Custom Cruise over in Alfreton in Derbyshire.  They were a bit pricy but excellent quality and easy to fit.  I think if you mention this forum, you'll get a bit of a discount as well.

Cheers guys, bit torn tbh as today I've been looking at some of the hard luggage options, some of which are even more pricey.

I'll hang fire a bit and see if anything catches my eye.

Took my new screen off today as while it gives great protection I think it detracts from the long low sleek look of the bike, might see if I can find a little black one to lift the wind of my chest.

Hope you enjoy your M800 and using the forum
