    He's a bad man who makes you buy bling and if you think you have all the bling you could wish for he will show you something new you must have !

    He also has the nicest repsol on the planet and a very very very nice 848 :)

    Nice bike Jamie!! Fair play to you and a G R E A T colour... ;) Could not have picked a better one myself ;) lol Try not to show up the other colours when out on a ride mate, be a gent and let them past. lol

    Thanks for the comments too people, you can only try your best, sadly I have been slipping of late as still booked right up so have missed a fair few calls, think people are getting pi$$ed with me :(

    Hope you get some sunshine mate to run the bike in before the weather gets too bad :)

    I'm sure people aren't pissed off mate.

    Where would you rather take your bike............

    1- somewhere you can get in the same day?

    2- the place with the big que and waiting list?

    The que is there for a reason because the the work is top quality mate and its worth the wait!

    Arthur I would rather wait for your services than wait a month for a so called honda dealer service! Which is what I was quoted before I joined this site and found out about you

    Congrats on the new bike Jamie, it looks stunning

    Sounds to me that Arthur needs to think about going national and opening another place.

    Did i mention how stunning the North-East coast is ? ;)

    Its on its way :) was going to provide a pre / post 11 review in the mix

    Unfortunately family commitments mean I won't be out on it for a week or so :( but as soon as I can I will get some thing knocked up

    The CB is an excellent bike, I really liked it but once you have had a blade its hard to not want one again it really is a great all rounder !

    There are some great superbikes out at the moment but outright power and traction control, power modes etc. don't make it a great bike or everyday usable ... Although the blade is not alone its a bloody good deal and I'm happy again :)

    Its a great feeling, was funny today giving them back a five month old CB1000R with 6000 miles on it !

    Think the blade is going to cover some miles and hopefully soon.
