    Ok, I've read the rules and will behave.
    I'm Nigel from West Midlands. Been a Honda man forever, starting with a CB 175 in 1970, moved to a CB 750 K1 in 1971 and later to a VF 750. And then the all-familiar run of marriages and divorces put paid to all biking!

    Recently re-entered the scene with a CBR 250R to re-serve my apprenticeship. Just bought the 2011 Blade and bleedin' heck - what a machine. Even after the 250 Baby Blade, I have to learn to ride all over again.

    Some of you might take the bike for granted, but when you've been out of the scene for a long time, the huge technological and power advances really overwhelm you. I am truly happy I made this purchase.

    The bike is optioned with tail tidy, Yoshi can, PZ Racing gear indicator, and Oxford heated grips (which I won't need).

    I hope to be active on a number of topics. Cheers!!

    I had been thinking the same, they're pointless given I have a cowl rather than a pillion seat.
