    Lovely! I did see yours in another thread, I’m after an ABS model however (aware of the potential issues) otherwise would be down this weekend lol!

    Have a deposit on with a dealer, hopefully going to complete it next weekend :)

    Aware of the issues yet still eyeing up an ABS one, any reason? No judgement :)

    You probably already aware but great deals at Honda dealers at mo - I just got a 2018 matte black blade for under £2k deposit and only £99 pm PCP (dealer/Honda paid the other £2k odd).

    Anyhow, good luck on the hunt - I was looking for a black 2012 blade before I got mine.

    I was after abs until I done some searching and not just on here.
    And a 12 plate and I ended up with a 16 plate non abs:D

    New (to me) bike bought!

    Black 2014 with scorpion can and quick shifter :)

    Was going to stick a couple pictures up but says they’re too big - is there an easy way to reduce?

    Great stuff! Congrats;)

    Try taking pictures in 'portrait' rather than 'landscape' if you're using your phone camera.

    Trust me it works!:)

    If you've got something like the Pixir app, just alter the pixel size in that. Usually needs to go to a medium size

    For me, the easiest way is to open the file with Microsoft Paint and then resize it by 50%. I am a photoholic so have perfected the art:D.

    I still say my idea is the easiest option :rolleyes:

    In fact it's @Lozzy's idea as she gave it me about 2 years ago when I was having the same problem;)

    There are two easy ways
    1: down load the resizer program from Microsoft website and then all you do is right click your image and resize
    2: email them to your self and then save as medium

    Downloaded an app to do it. Windows might be easier but I’m on my iPhone :)
