    this is the first time I have ever posted anything on any forum or anywhere else for that matter so be patient with me please!!!!
    just bought an 08 blade to add to a 954 and an rrw,the new one advertised as a cat d but not registered at dvla so was a bargain.bit different to the rrw or what!.i live in sunbury on thames near heathrow and have been riding since god was a boy,bit of a fair weather man now but still enjoy track days more than I should as I don't bounce like I used to!!
    also have a 5jj r1 that I found with only 770 miles on it.last owner came of it and parked it up and didn't uncover it for 15 years!! a few fixes and its as near new as can be.
    not sure what else to add but am open to any questions you may have

    Well, we have something in common already.... I'm best described as a technological piece of toast. I posted a picture a few weeks back. It only took me a year to work out how to do it :D

    Are you using a phone/tablet with the pic on that you're wanting to post?
    Click on the Upload file box below
    Click then on Choose file
    It should then bring up choices on your phone such as documents
    Click on that if it includes your Gallery or Photos
    Click on either of those that contain the photo
    Click on the photo itself
    It then downloads into the reply box...if you then click on full image...wait for it to appear in the box...then click post reply :)
    There are other ways but I find this easiest using my Samsung phone & is quite easy once you've done it a couple of times

    Quite Techy for a Yorkshire Gal aren't you Mrs Lozzy? I'm just assuming it was Mr Lozzy that taught you your IT skills.:rolleyes:
    If I did any computery type courses at work I always ended up in the Biff Class.....:eek:
