    Hi everyone,
    Firstly, hello to all of you. I bought a 2011 repsol blade yesterday. Havent ridden it yet as I'm working overseas, I will get a couple of weeks on it at the beggining of next month :) I'm really looking forward to it...it's my first thou, my last bike being a Triumph Daytona 675. I already have two trackdays planned, snet on the 7th May and Mallory on the 11th :) I need some track bits and pieces such as fairing etc, so look in the wanted section if you have anything. Anyway..heres a pic of the bike...it the sellers pic and not the best, but all I have:

    Cheers,
    Col.

    Hello, i`m sure they forecast rain on those 2 days, don`t mean to put a dampener on it, ( see what i did there, a play on words).

    WRONG! Everyone knows that black bikes go the fastest. :p

    And welcome, I've not been here long myself but have already got loads of good advice (just don't ask about tyres as they will scramble your brains)
