Welcome to the forum @Armortura Live in Durham myself these days. Though my origins are slightly further south as you can tell from the name. Nice choice of bike. I had a 2004 myself before changing it for.......yes you've guessed it......another Blade.
Ah yes, I can see from the name ;o). Don't think I'd change from a 'blade now, maybe in a couple of year I'll go for a newer model, that's all. Cheers!
