    I know this is sackable offence, so don't take the hump folks, but was asked to post my new bike, after trading in for the dodgy ABS Model 2013. Now let me tell you, this baby has a great set of brakes, none of the nonsense with soft levers and going to the bar, always bitting at the same point. I did like the Blade but just lost confidence in it so it had to go.

    I also want to take this opportunity to THANK EVERYONE for their advice and help during the past year, although some of the jokes need to improve.I will probably keep my account running because i enjoy this forum.

    Jim

    Superb bikes, rode a few. That's the best colour in my opinion. Do BMW charge extra for that colour? (I know they used to charge a premium for the Blue motorsport colours). Keep on the Forum - there will be more BMW owners than Blade owners at this rate!

    Looks Stunning Jim, hope you get plenty of use out of it.

    As for buying another bike brand being a stackable offence, not on my watch, you pay your hard earnt and get what you want with it.
    Your more than welcome to continue with your contribution.
    But, erring on the PC side of things I've just took the liberty to move you over to other bikes section.

    You know, just in case.

    Enjoy it, and I'm sure there'll be few awaiting some feedback on what she's like to live with. :)

    I was trying to think of a bad joke to end with for you, but all mine are good ones ;)

    Everyone,

    Thanks for the feedback it's very much appreciated. For those who asked yes, paid extra for colour but got a cracking deal, so never noticed the cost, and its the 2014 colour scheme.

    Jim
