    Bike was perfect with the uprated suspension and brembos finally fitted......

    Then on day three second session (absolutely no fault of my own) this happened.......

    Judging by your new avatar, it ain't going to be good news:(

    :edit:
    You posted just before me.
    FFS, that looks sore.
    Hope you heal well Rob, not what I like to see.

    Ouch! Get well soon mate. I broke my collar bone 20 years ago, and even now it's sensitive to touch.
    But you should be able to shoulder barge your way through the Xmas queues with that metal plate though :eek:

    Thanks lads

    a bit bitter if im honest as I was robbed innocently of completing the event and obviously will have to see out all the remaining issues connected with breaking a bone (bike had very minor damage)
    I know there was no malice involved.......but its a tricky concern and one I can only comment on fully when its finally dealt with.....

    I had the blade fitted with stock 2012 (fresh service) forks a revalved 2012 rear all done by Ktech and "Colin from 100% suspension" could nt fault set up...... brembos and master cylinder fitted and all I can say is bike was absolutely perfect and never felt so stable especially under hard and heavy breaking...... a perfect upgrade if you want to improve a older blade...
