    Hi all
    I've just joined the forum though I've been looking in for a few months since test riding a blade and to my surprise absolutely loving it!! I've been riding 20+ years but never owned sports bikes as I found them uncomfortable. I was persuaded by a mate to try the blade and as I have said I loved it. Fantastic power and smooth delivery, so easy to ride and surprisingly comfortable/practical as an everyday bike. Am now waiting for the right 2009/2010 HRC with lots of trick bits to come along.
    I've just sold my street triple r but still have a fantastic z1000sx to keep me occupied so no rush for the blade. That said I can't wait to get one and join the fun!!!
    Cheers
    Torjor

    Welcome Torjor. Some weird feckers in Kent. Don't talk to any of them, especially Nutty and Jumbo. Have a blat to East Sussex instead.

    Welcome fella! Enjoy the forum, can't go wrong with the blade - as you've already found out.

    You should take megs up on his offer, he knows every lane and decent road within a ten mile radius of rye ;)

    Just jump in feet first and get one. Good choice on the HRC. You get at least an extra 3 degrees lean angle out of those :D
