I can't take it anymore

Congrats on the pilots license btw.  If in the future you are ever flying through the atlanta area and talking with atlanta center, you'll have to ask for me

It's been way to long since I've been in an airplane.  I think my bi-annual was due 4 year ago

Hello from Jetlink 

well, I still need to take my practical.  I'll have met all my requirements this saturday once I do another solo cross country.   I think that practical must take your skill level done a few notches because of the pressure.

For the practical test all I can say is relax. I know it's a stressful time. I am assuming that this is a private checkride and that it is your first. I have taken at least 20 checkrides so far and the one thing I have learned is to relax. You would not be sitting in front of an examiner if you were not ready. You know all the answers and you can fly the aircraft, so just relax, be yourself and pay attention to the little details.

I rode an M1100s and an 08 910r back to back last week. And I'm still undecided.

The MV was a beast. Way more bike than I'm used to (I'm coming from an 05 M620). The smallest twitch of the wrist and it takes off. Ergonomically, it worked for me (5'9", 140) just fine.

Then I hopped on the M1100s, and it was like putting on a pair of old slippers. More power than the 620 (clearly) but not in a way that made my uncomfortable. Good power delivery across the band. And the seat and riding position just felt right. That, and the sound from the termis was heaven itself.

Bottom line, the Duc was a great ride, but I can see the 910r being more fun down the road. That, and with the M1100 after all the add-ons (termis, tail chop, clutch cover blah blah blah) I'd be pushing $18k (!!!) where the 910r would only set my back $15k.

If only the Brut sounded like a duc......

originally I was after a 750S then a 910S (great deals can be had on 08s brand new around $500 over invoice aka $11.5K!) then a 910R.. For me the Agusta felt awfully small and this is coming from someone with access to an MV f4 Tamburini I ended up getting the 1100S with the termis + ECU and you're right it was much more than either Brutale but well worth the money
