    Snap matey you have exceptional taste in Blades WF! Definately the most gorgeous and striking of all Blades in my opinion not to mention the fastest ;)

    I got my first Blade just before my 45th, and absolutely love it! :)

    They're not as intimidating as you might think i bit like a golden lab with a rocket up it's arse! :D

    Forgiving and easy to ride fast as long as you not ham fisted! They are truly amazing! ENJOY!!!..

    Welcome to the family

    Yep. I was 50 and a bit when I bought mine. I'd been having mid life crises buys for a year or so already at that point and I just about got the 'Blade past the missus before she twigged I was taking the piss.

    What? Only the one mid life crisis?

    Shit no. I've been having them for years. This was the only time I could legitimately use it as an excuse for buying toys.

    Jeanette said it was either have an affair with my secretary or buy a sports car.

    My secretary then got me a bunch of brochures.




    I've got "1 Litre GTi Eater" on the bottom of mine.

    Excellent, I seem to have accidentally joined Saga, do I get a free pen? :confused:

    I thought this would've been a toy too far, having well over-played the mid-life-crisis card. But a well timed call to Portugal when she was visiting her sister and was happy in the sun with a G'n'T, sailed right through.:D

    Thanks again for the warm welcome.:)

    Jamie, don't rush it, save it for when it really kicks in!
    Are you the youngest on this site?
    Has there ever been a poll of ages on here? Who's the youngest here to own a Blade and who's the oldest still riding?

    I might qualify for owning blades the longest. Got my first one in 1996 and never been without one since. Had three others and reckon I've covered 130,000 miles to date :)
