Firstly I had better say Hi to all those that remember me . Long time hey .............. Well it's been a really sh1t year . My long time (30 years) significant other has passed away . That has left a really big hole in my life as you can imagine . It's been a few months now so starting to find coping strategies My health hasn't been great before and since his passing . One recurring problem is my dicky hip . I find that after 30 minutes on the 'carbon cracker' I'm getting huge pain in my left hip which forces me to stop riding . SO after great concideration I am selling up ........ EVERYTHING for the Blade All the bits I removed , spare parts I swapped out for better bits , bits unused cos I didn't get around to using them , and of course the Holy Grail of biking nirvana the Carbon Cracker herself . I've got 'like new' gold front legs , spare carbon fairing , spare carbon hugger and front mudguard a white seat cowl , to be honest I'm not sure what I've got stashed away . As for the bike .... I recon a standard 08 Blade is selling around 5K so I'm going for 7K If I remember correctly it's got 176 RWBHP and 84 torques and weighs in at 184 kilos ready to run . I would need to get the dyno info from Daytuner Performance to confirm this . God knows what I've spent building the bike with all it's toys but I think if I break the bike for all it's goodies I would realise 7K easily . So there you go peeps , if you fancy taking over one of the most sorted fully tricked carbon and titanium 08 Blades around then get in contact .
Hello stranger......sorry to hear of your loss are you packing the bikes up all together ?? your bike is a cracker and wish you well with the sale....... if anyone appreciates a good well sorted blade this is one.... you should remind some of us oldies and the many newbies of the trick bits fitted with some pics....

Hi Peeps Thanks for all the kind thoughts , I'm touched . Bless you all I will try not to be a stranger on here as I have missed the banter . I will also pop up to the garage tomorrow and take some pics as I think there are no up to date ones . As you all know it was constantly evolving and I hadn't posted any for a while . Although I seem to remember that I couldn't upload any more when I was a regular so I might be asking for some help .
It's a nice bike, and a nice spec, someone will get a great bike! What's the plan nutty you getting something easy on the body?
