    Hi all, been lurking for a few weeks. Have had my 05 blade since March. Previous bikes include a CBR600f, Gixxer750 K2, Monster S2R 800 and Street Triple.

    So far removed all the pillion bits and fitted the HRC rear break reservoir kit and next mod hopefully some rearsets or quickshifter. Bike already had a k&n filter and titanium akrapovic.

    Anyone down this way in Southern Spain?

    Cheers bubba, was pouring it down here last week. Nice and sunny lately, will upload pics of Ronda trips etc. Hopefully a few trackdays to come at Jerez.

    Hi Gibblade. It appears you're on your own down there for now. Have a look here.

    http://1000rr.co.uk/new-members/2444.htm

    and drop a pin on Gib' and see if you can attract a few riding buddies. There's already a pin in Barcelona but that's a bit of a schlep from you. We have another regular member who has a home in Spain but I don't know where exactly, I'm afraid.

    Of course, if you ever get up east to Benidorm, there's always...

    Madge is always up for a ride out.

    Is there much of a sport bike community on the rock mate or do you have to go into Spain?

    There's quite a lot of bikers on the Rock itself but due to lack of roads/space everyone meets early morning and heads over to Spain. Sometimes 10-15 at a time but we all look after one another and doesn't matter what bike you're riding, the more the merrier! Sometimes a close knit community can be a good thing, other times it's a right PITA lol
