    With Denzil who's still undecided on blade or R1. he loved his old 99 R1. but loves the new R1 and blade. So we are going shopping Friday. I told him to text ride both and see what he feels is best for him. No goo me keeping on about a blade if he's hearts not 100% with the blade.

    he's go his budget to keep to and will be a secondhand bike so possibly a 09-11 R1 or 09-11 blade

    So just need a heads up on local places to visit. Will look online to see if they have any blades or R1's in stock before going but was thinking of visiting t locally a few dealers

    List of dealers to go to on Friday.
    Fowlers,
    Riders in Bristol and maybe the other dealers
    Possibly Bristol Kawasaki if they have
    blade Honda in Swindon,
    thunder road in Newport where I bought my blade

    Any other suggestions

    cheers

    What do you mean Ken? not a bad trip over. Lee is taking his van so if he buys he can take it home straight away. and also if the weather is crap saves him having to ride home to Somerset

    Bransons is top of the list

    Will be brekky and look around at Fowlers for around 9AM, do Riders and bristol Kwak then off to Bransons than maybe blade Honda. Possibly then over to wales if lee'snot had enough.

    I'll be asking about a test ride on the Duck 899 when in riders myself ;)
