    hi guys
    Newbie on the forum heres a quick introduction
    Ok well just sold my 09 R1 had it from new first big banger put 20k miles on it over 4 years and thought well time for a change so was a toss up between a blade or a gixer (wanted to get back to a straight inline 4) so put a deposit on a 09 gixer with 3k miles on it but after going into dealers to pay remaining balance guy was busy with another customer so thought ill check bike over again and noticed a hair line crack in the top nose cone just next to the mirror told dealer about it and he said no problem we will get a new one and will only charge you cost price for it WTF so I told him no way and to shove the bike were the sun don't shine and got my deposit back. Anyway money burning a hole in my pocket I started scouring the net and found a 09 HRC blade with only 1600 miles on it thought this is to good to be true but all paperwork checks out mots/ ect bikes like its just come out of the showroom only problem now is I have just made the winter even longer a lovely new bike sitting in the garage and wont be used for about 4 months just purchase a new racefit black edition can and rear hugger (wife already threatened divorce if I spend anymore on it) lol. already gained from the forum workshop manual and diy videos so well chuffed and look forward to speaking you guys on a regular basis and maybe even meeting a few of you.

    Roll on 2014

    Cheers
    Brian

    Welcome to the forum, a good bunch of guys but they do get a little 'anti' if they don't get their fix of daily new blade pictures to look at ;) There's loads of meets and ride outs happen in any dry weather above 10 degrees so just tip up and say hello.
