    Hi Everyone,

    Finally got a Blade, I have wanted one since I first started riding 6 years ago.
    Now finally the insurance companies have agreed to let me grace the roads on one of these beautiful machines with out needing to sell a kidney and join a somali pirate outfit.

    I have previously owned:

    Honda - CG125 1986 - Hornet 900F 2007 - CBR600RR 2006 - CBR600RR 2008 - CB1300SA 2009
    Triumph - Speed Triple 2010
    Yamaha - YBR125

    I ride everyday generally about 1000 miles or so a month.
    I do at least one big trip a year most notable being London to Morocco via a clockwise loop of Spain (Andorra, Gibraltar included)
    and a trip to Kaliningrad - Russia (also including France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania)

    As for my Blade its a 2009 ABS model, dark blue (looks black in most lights) silver with gold wheels.
    Only mods are heated grips, tail tidy, e-cushion seat, and taylor made exhaust, crash bungs, tank/fuel cap protector.

    Im sure it will be an absolute pleasure knowing you all.

    Have fun and be lucky!


    Yeti.

    :D

    Here are a few pictures. Yes when I get a bit of time I will write up a few of my experiences I'm currently making a mini web series of my last trip. I filmed it with a gopro and an iPhone.

    Thanks for the great welcome.

    ;)
