    Hi all,

    Picking up a 07 HRC blade on the 16th, think this may be a long week coming up.

    Totally standard to begin with but not sure how long that'll last.

    Had a 600 for around 18months so gonna be fun moving up to a thou.

    Any hints or suggestions would be great and look forward to getting out on some runs



    Phil

    Yes and don't wallpaper over the controls...


    Unless you memorise exactly where each one of them was first...

    Which would be jolly clever.





    We will be winding you up all week now. You know that....don't you...

    Best tip I can give is get out there as soon as it warms up a bit and enjoy it mate. The blade is truly awesome at doing everything just so right.

    Welcome to the forum

    That looks awesome, I have the fun of riding mine home.

    Slightly nervous now as may have just bought a scorpion exhaust for £12.95........waiting to see if they're out of stock or the website just screwed up....

    If I had the money there and then I would have done.

    Took my girlfriends dad to pick his bike up, saw one and asked for a test ride. They got another in, rode it, bought it.

    The wait is for a cheque to clear from a savings account :(
