Hi, Thanks for letting me into the forum. Just purchased a 2004 'blade in all black, so thought I'd pop in to say hello. Picked it up in Birmingham yesterday and rode her back to Durham, not the wisest decision in rain and sleet, but she got me home safely. I had a 900 'blade 18 months ago, but sold it regrettable so wanted to get back in with the 1000. Cheers.
Hi and welcome, Armortura. Yep, not the best of days to collect a new bike, but you would have enjoyed your trip! I just got a 2004 yesterday also - in red/white/blue. Very nice so far. Cheers.
Welcome Amortura, hope it on t be to long before you can get out on the bike again 16' here yesterday -1 today wtf going on with the weather
Thanks bradt. Completely sick of this weather now. Another few snow blizzards today with about 0.5" of lying snow. Not funny
Thanks man! It got me home in the worst weather ever, so I'm already in love with her for keeping me safe
Hello and welcome. Nice choice, I had a black 05 when they first came out. The good thing about the Blade is they are nice and predictable, almost friendly, until you wind it on. I'm on my 8th now and I've ridden them in all weathers all year round and not had any dramas, not of the bike's making anyway.
Thanks!! Yeah, it's an awesome bike, I love it. And for it to get me home in one piece made me love it even more . 8 blades ha ha....awesome stuff.... Cheers!
Welcome. Im a little up the road in Newcastle. We need a couple days of solid rain to wash all this salt away!
