Paul's 2015 Yamaha MT-07

[Dac_Xint]

First of all, yes, yes I know, this is a motorcycle, 2 wheels. Good news is I will be out and about more than ever, and will therefore bring you even more car photos from Hong Kong!

Anyway, finally, after 2 months of waiting, I am about to receive my first brand new bike.

When I picked up these documents from the dealership yesterday, I had a glimpse of my brand new bike tucked at the back of the garage, all ready to go with me right there and then.

I'm not quite sure how I was able to refrain from scratching that itch and had the discipline to walk out the dealer empty handed, saying to myself inside my head "Wait, wait till the secure parking is ready"

Anyway, patience has led me this far without any accidents on and off the motorcycle in the past 3 years, I can wait a little longer. Paperworks are all in place now, parking space will be ready tomorrow, I'll bring the bike home in 48 hours, but not without christening it with a proper ride throughout the city of HK. Expect photos and videos!

Nothing like buying parts for a vehicle you don't own yet. Rock on haha.

Exactly, the waiting is unbearable, I can't stop looking at forums and stores for parts and ideas.

Anyway, just picked up the bike from the shop and took it around the city to run a few errands. This thing is so fun to ride.

Spent a little time this Sunday afternoon working on the bike, swapping the factory lights with the MotoDynamic integrated alternating sequential LED tail light I ordered earlier

Always cool to see members getting bikes. I was considering an MT-07 for my next purchase because I can ride it while on a learners license, and it seems like something I'd be satisfied with even when I've gotten my full. Your new tail light looks great too. Modern bikes look so good with clear tail lights.
