    Hi all,

    New to this site today.
    Started riding a long time ago and had a bike(s) for most of the years since.
    I'm very lucky to have a road sports bike (08 Blade), a street bike (Street Triple R) and a track bike (09 Blade)
    The road bike was my first Fireblade and I love it and I don't think there's anything out there at the moment I'd have in it's place as a road bike. The track bike is also great and has a few trick bits on it, most of which have made a noticable difference, so not just bling!!
    The Triumph is a lovely thing to play on but it really bugs me that it has a more restrictive steering lock (turning circle) than the blade!

    Look forward to joining in with the forum but I work away a lot so won't always be albe to contribute.

    Safe riding

    Keith :)

    Cheers fellas, thanks for the welcome.

    I live in Teesside but currently at work in the Middle East - with lousy slow internet so excuse me if I don't get any pics loaded today.

    Looking for pics I've realised I have hardly any of the road bikes compared to the track bike!
    Love the track days but I can't see me ever stopping riding on the road as some lads do.

    Here's a few pics I've found.

    A belated greeting to you Keith. Your bikes look wonderful. I share your hatred of poor locks, my last bike's would have been turned down by the captain of the Exxon Valdez for being dangerously restrictive. Enjoy your stay with us. There's a very active sub division of us in the north now so keep an eye on their epic road trips concurring with you being at home from work.

    All the best

    Ken
