    Attended the recent Wales run and had a good day,
    Had my 2008 Black and White blade since Jan 2nd 2009 when I got her 2nd hand from I.O.M.

    had the engine re-built to solve oil use problem when less than a year old (which worked)

    Recently put Rothmans fairings on (and blew the ECU when neighbour kept distracting me re-connecting the battery / 12v outlets so have no rev counter. Got switched, non switched and heated grips!

    Its also one of the very few (if not only) bike to be signed by Super Sic

    Nope - it looks bigger for some reason, - that's 85ltr of Ventura - never moved an inch and did not notice it.
    Had stuff for 10 days, plus laptop, hard drive, power packs, on board camera kit - you name it I was asked to carry it!
