    Well it was with an unexpected tinge of sadness and regret that I found my self feeling whilst loading up the Blade this morning. :(

    She's been a good bike and I still stand by my view that the Blade is the best all round Sports Bike for the road going.

    However what makes them good in this respect also makes them a tadge boring, you just (or I don't anyway) get the tingling thrill during and after a good blat that I get on the older ZX.

    The Blade's a bit like a long standing dependable Wife in many respects!

    In short I need more SLUT in my life!



    And here she is! :D

    Very nice mate.
    If I didn't have a blade it would be what I would go for I think.
    And it would have to be green too.

    Funnily enough I've already looked at Track Fairings but to be honest I'm quite happy with the 2010 model for the forseeable.

    Maybe in 18 months or so.......................................;)
