    Ok so I picked up my new Blade yesterday and was hoping to get to the Millenium breakfast meet today but my 9 month old twins decided otherwise by keeping us up most of the night. Altho they are teething and have colds so i'll let them off. Anyway, while they were finally having a sleep this morning I'd thought I'd grab a brew and go drool over the new ride obviously.
    While I was checking out the finer details of Honda's build quality I noticed that one of the rear pegs (which the dealer had re fitted for me) looked a bit strange. On further inspection it became apparent that the fitter had re fitted the rear peg over the little bracket you can get to hold the heat shield in place if you remove the pegs!! Luckily for me there seems to be no damage and 2 mins work with the allen keys and sorted. No rear pegs again and everything bolted up straight again.
    So I thought I'd take the opportunity to take a few pics!! Ignore the crap in the background. The girlfriends dad is sorting the garage out!!

    Bike looks great mate. I like the red and black, I have a set up in the loft which I will put on at some stage to make a change from my black ones.

    Looks in great condition, you must be well pleased.

    Yeah, managed the grand total of 70 miles yesterday but it was certainly an eye opener from my last bike.

    Yes, do you know the bike? I went to view a black one at KJM and I'm sure it had a forum chrome decal on the screen.
