had a call from my dealer today to inform me that the MC would be ready on the 21st July, 2 1/2 weeks earlier than I expected and that's with the modifications too!
I seriously can't wait now, only 6 weeks to go rather than nearly 9 (or longer as I was going to wait until September)!!
If you want to claim tax back make sure you buy 12 months. If you buy 6 months (at a higher rate per month) and then claim back they only refund you at the 12 month rate, so you lose out.
