Few picks from dropping bike off for service

Blade was booked in for Camchain tensioner today - drop it in to Hunts in Manchester on way to work and first person I bump into is this chap



He has clearly been laying off the pies and pasties and hitting the gym over winter

- So I turn the corner and see this parked up







Well it would be rude not to try it for size..




Then saw a stunning collection of brand new Blades - very few brand new HRC colour bikes left in UK now and sure deals to be had if you're quick

 

REPSOL RULES..... HRC is for the '' also ran's''

 

Said by a bitter and twisted non HRC owner

 

Didn't realise 'HRC' were out of the running. Ain't repsol "just" a sponsor.






Oops

 

Bet that was a surprise Al.

He ain't half lost some double chins from the last time I seen a pic of him.
Hopefully he keeps it up and manages to gt himself fit for this year.

 

I reckon he got fed up with all the comments about him being a fat fckuer and the like (which compared to other riders he was) - plus reading / hearing how Cal Crutchlow and others work so hard on their weight / health he prob. thought he better work hard.

 

reckon it's more a a realisation that he would be quicker if he was fitter,dont really think he's the type of guy that gives a shit what others say/think.

racebikes do look awesome in the legends colours,think mine could be going in for a new paint job.

 

I thought you had to have a double chin to go fast on the tt legends bike

 

I best get mine in for a repaint then Ha!

 

Forgive my ignorance but ...... who is he?


(I'm guessing Mr. Dunlop, but not sure)

 

A few months ago the 'wide' sticker on the top yoke of his bike would have pointed the other way...
