    Morning Gents,

    Just thought i'd say hi as i'm a newby here.
    I'm Steve, a Brit living in Johannesburg. Sadly not a Blade owner anymore. Previously had an 09 model in HRC colours with a few mods like full Arata Ti system, PCv, Lightec rearsets etc.
    Garage now consists exclusively of Italian metal, what can i say!!

    Steve

    Cheers

    Nothing wrong with gorgeous Italian bikes Steve. I used to spend hours just looking at mine...

    ...Of course that's while I was trying to get it to start...

    Well,

    Got a few to be honest!! I'm currently in deepest Africa so i'm without pictures, but i have............

    Track- FrankenDuc-Ducati 996 (not really!!)748 R frame, 1198 Motor fitted, BST carbon Wheels, full Ohlins race suspension, Magnesium swing arm, top & bottom yokes, Brembo Billet brakes, too much to list. 171 bhp, 165 kgs FULLY WET!! Bit of an animal really!!
    Track Aprilia RS250. Currently being rebuilt, but soem nice bits, BST wheels, Nitron shock, Tyga bits and pieces
    Track- Coming- NCR Millona R/One Shot. HAnd built Ducati air cooled derived bike. Exquisit in every detail. Titanium everything, including axles, the lot. 115 kgs and 114 bhp. Fitted witht he VERY BEST of everything!! THE best Brembo Billlet CNC calipers(very same as WSBK use), Full Aim MXL Pista electronics, Ohlins front, Mupo rear, full cabon bodywork inc self supporting seat section. A true masterpiece.

    Will do Fella.
    And if you do venture south of the equator, make sure it's a worthwhile trip. Need to get a couple of Trackdays in at Kyalami and Redstar, and a trip to ET!! You won't want to go home!!!
