As happens from time to time, life throws up these unfortunate, and horrifically grown up priorities which unfortunately, according to the wife, take precedence over motorcycles. A new house and a four wheeled contraption I believe they call a motor car? I'm just back in Catalunya after delivering the Fireblade (2010 model) back to the UK where it now has a new owner. The morning I left for the UK I also had someone come and collect my Daytona 675 track machine to take it on to a new home. It was a sad day. As a last hurrah my journey from Barcelona to Santander was the the length of the N-260 across the Pyrenees. Not a bad last ride on the girl. What a wonderful bike the fireblade is!!!! A truly complete road machine. 10K miles from new, Alps, Pyrenees, Catalunya ……never skipped a beat. I'd have another tomorrow. This forum has been great! Love the knowledge, info, banter and the people. So many thanks. I'll no doubt check in from time to time, as what I've just sold on will have to be replaced in 18 months or so (very exciting prospect, every cloud and all that!) and fingers crossed Honda will come out with something new and very exciting! We shall see. Many thanks boys and girls. Cheers Mike
