    After moving to a more sedate part of the country I have decided to try something a bit more relaxing to ride

    A Triumph Bobber
    Not sure what to do with the Blade now but may keep for another year and see how it goes

    The forum is definitely in decline, @Lozzy would have normally photo shopped Paul's head on a bloke with arseless chaps within about 3 minutes.

    I looked at the pictures.
    How could you do it?
    A bobber is mere poor taste

    BUT PIPE WRAP IS EVIL!

    Following a reasonable summer i did use the Blade a fair bit but the roads down here in Devon at the end of the nice weather are lethal
    Back end stepped out in a big way doing the national speed limit on a road back home (Change of pants time)
    I love taking the balde on tracks but now the nearest track is 3 hours away

    I will keep it for a while as i have the room and who would want to take a quick decision on getting rid of something so nice as my Blade

    Well good job i kept the fireblade as dealership has just gone into administration :eek: (Triumph Plymouth)

    So now i have paid for the bike in full (Luckily on a Credit Card) and just awaiting to see if the administrators release the bike tomorrow
    I am going to chase up again as they said if it is released then they will deliver tomorrow as well

    Turning into a nightmare at the minute
    Feel bad though for the poor people who have lost their jobs at Christmas time

    Looking on their website it looks like the budget was the final nail in the coffin.
