    Silly thing is I"m not a fast rider at all one of the reasons I sold the last one was I was embarrassed riding around so slowly on it

    Bummer. Let me know if you're coming up. As long as its a weekend I'll gladly join you.

    Riding the Blade slowly is what it's all about. You want people to know what's about to happen to them.

    You don't have to be a fast rider to enjoy the bike gray.

    It's about you, and only you mate!

    Enjoy it!

    SP had a sweet looking late model Repsol the other week. They're not too fast.

    glad to hear your back on the lookout for a blade again. i,m sure between damerells, bridge and the likes your find something soon. theres also speed superbikes in exeter opposite the train station but even though they describe there bikes as mint they are far from it. could be worth a look i guess! happy hunting!!

    Well guys started looking yesterday , didn't find the right one ( plenty of time )
    Was tempted saw a sweet Rc8r and a bmw1000rr maybe a few test rides I think
    Was chatting to a guy in the bmw dealers , he didn't work there just turned up on one said it's the mutts nuts

    Fun times ahead like a kid in a sweet shop

    Well the rc8r is out didn't even leave the showroom
    Lets say I'm vertically challenged, couldn't even get my leg over the tail section ( man it's high )
    When I eventually got on it didn't feel right for me , so I kinda fell off and left it in the showroom
    Stunning looking bike tho , but if it ain't right it ain't right

    Did see a 09 blade , didn't like the colour and the px deal on the triple was pants

    hi gray, if your still looking for a blade i stopped off in bridge yesterday on way home from a week away and they have a couple of blades in there. an 09 red/black and a nice hrc on 11 plate with 5k miles. might be worth a look.
