    Hi,
    Ok so been lurking in the shadows for a lil while now. Even met this motley crew at NEC.

    I have also made some contributions to the site via ColinBR as we carried out all the mods to both his blade and the now ill-fated blackbird. Sumthing about me being able to make a good cuppa tea or sumthing.

    I must confess tho I don’t own a blade but hopefully I can still make a few worthwhile contributions. My bike is in the background of Colin’s garage nite pics.

    Anyway let the flaming begin for joining a blade forum without a blade. :D

    Lol welcome to the forum mate. I'm sure the guys won't bite too deep about not having a blade :)

    Stick some pics up of the bike, I'm sure more than few guys on here have had 1 at some point.
    Oh and thanks again for helping me out on Sunday after being wiped out on the blackbird.

    Yeah they are pretty nippy well till you get anywhere close to triple figures then kinda runs outa puff, really notice that when overtaking.
    the bike is in pretty nice condition, spent as much money as a care to on it, think its a new bike next once funds allow.

    Av added all the usual stuff carbon can co zorst and tail tidy were already fitted before ma hands got it, dbubble screen, hugger, new rear shock and front springs (oh what a difference they made!) cant think of much else off top of head.

    Beside the lack of go at higher speeds the bike is pretty good, never had her break down on me (touch wood dinny wanna be sitting at side of road waitin on tow truck again took ages for colins bike to get uplifted.)

    Really need to find or get some better pics as she sits the now.:D
