    Hi, just joined from the far flung Isle of Harris. Have been riding for years and have had many bikes. Currently have a triumph t509 speed triple, a gsxr750 srad and last week picked up an 04 blade with a genuine 3500 miles on it. In HMP colours, it's mint and I love it.

    Hi Andy, nice looking bike... like you, I've been riding for years and have been using a local bike forum but have only just discovered this one.
    Some interesting stuff on here, and strangely some info that confirmed my own thoughts, such as the awful Dunlop Qualifiers that are the standard OE tyre. Mine came off within 200 miles on my last bike and I've never looked back since moving onto Pilot Power 2CT's.
    Looking forward to using this forum.

    Mine came with horribly squared off corsa 3s, but booked in for a set of pilot road 3s on Friday. It has a full aka titanium system on it aready but have just bought a power commander 5 with custom map for it and a 42 tooth rear sprocket.

    Thanks all for your welcome. New rubber on today and not dropping into corners now which is nice. Handling is sublime. Sprocket changed and PC5 hopefully on its way.
