    Where are you from? I'm actually at strensall so just on the outskirts of York. My regular stop is Helmsley then occasionally Whitby. Brilliant road for me over the moors. :)

    Yeah, just make it easier when topping up between sessions. I won't be leaving the Blade anywhere long enough for someone to nick the fuel!

    Cheers! Yeah, such good fun in the corners. It was my first 'big' bike so won't be selling it. Would love a 996 next.

    It would almost be worth loosing £20 quids of fuel to watch someone go to the hassle of getting it out! It is looks abit with me aswell, i'm justifying it by saying there's a reason why I need one. :D

    Queen Elizabeth's Barracks? I think thats the main one.
