Tom, I watched all the way to the end so as I could hear that exhaust but you didn't start the bike.  :roll:. I then had to watch the video of you fitting the exhaust so I could hear it. It sounds great.  :auto-dirtbike:.

Great review of the bike too, thank you.  :thumb:

Exhaust sounds great, I fancy a Mivv speed edge for mine now when I get the cash together.

Tom , nice review , you come across well  :thumb:
Can I recommend getting some Bark Busters ( the genuine ones , not using the generic term  :icon_wink: ) , or at a pinch , but MUCH cheaper , the Acerbis  plastic ones . The std type are really not up to much , crash wise , if you are going to be dropping it on a regular basis ( which is code for green laning  :icon_wink: ) and a broken clutch lever will ruin your ride.

As an often solo Laner I use the Real Rider app , I have got in the habit now and use it for all rides, road as well.

Hope to never need it ..but ....
