    Afternoon everyone,

    I picked my new track toy up at the weekend. She's a 2005 blade, and broken in nicely at 43k miles so she needs a little tlc. I'm so excited to get her fairings off, see how she looks in the flesh and start getting her ready for next year. Between her and my NC29, next season should be great fun!

    I've found a healtech quickshifter, the brake lines are braided and the throttle cables are yellow so not standard.....maybe I already have a quick action throttle......? I guess time will tell......

    Thank you all for the welcome messages! I've got the fairings stripped off of her now, and they'll get some attention in due course as they won't be fitted back on the bike for quite a while now.

    Got a full list of things I want to do to her but I have to focus on just making her rideable and servicing her for now. The trick bits will come next year I think.....

    She looks like this now.......
