    Hello,

    A sad day today, have sold my loyal friend a gsx-r600, in nearly 5 years and 18000 miles she never missed a beat, with 2 trips to the TT and a visit to the MotoGP under her belt and many happy hours in the saddle it will be sad to see her go come Monday morning.

    The good news, it meant I was able to order a new Blade so thought I best get my self registered on a forum as I have a whole new world to explore.

    The name is Matt but go by MrB and am living in Cornwall, been here for about 4 years. I am a service manager for a Yamaha and Honda dealer, which has it's perks ;) so if I can be of any assistance to other members please let me know.

    Cheers.

    No can't say I do, not by that name anyway.

    The itch to change started when the demo blade needed running in and unfortunately I got the job for the weekend (hard life, I know). After 300 miles I knew I had to have one. Not been an easy decision by any stretch as I do love my gixer been such a great bike, we've looked after each other. Plus the small matter of explaining/persuading the misses why I wanted, couldn't say I really needed a new bike, got round that one eventually. Well to be honest I just plowed on with the idea.

    Roll on delivery day.

    Welcome in MrB. I got down your way once or twice. duporth, think that's how to spell it? Many years ago used to bring school trips down to the holiday place there. Nice part of the world you live in.
    Enjoy your time here.

    Ooooh, and don't forget those pictures when you get the bike :)

    Hi Matt/MrB, welcome to another west country boy. Don't you go getting over excited now and go to bed early and it won't be many sleeps until the FireBlade fairy comes down your chimney.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum mate, I'm guessing you work at Damerals then?
    The demonstrator looks sweet, looking forward to seeing the pictures of yours.
