Default My new blade :-D

I've been away for some time, and off bikes for nearly 18 months for one reason and another. I always had itchy feet and spotted a run of limited bikes in a local dealer and had to have one.

The pictures are a bit rubbish off my phone, and the colours don't capture very well on it, but I fell in love straight away. Completely different to my 2009 blade in terms of colour etc, but exactly the same to ride except the digital dash and gear indicator are nice additions.

It's a limited run of 10 painted in 2013 moto gp colours, and came with the tail tidy, GP Pro II, seat cowl and ASV lever as standard.

Picked it up Saturday lunch time, and had done 500 miles on it by Sunday afternoon, so aching a bit now, and it needs its first service which I can't get it booked in for for a while . Second day out on it was with the 1000rr forum guys which was fun with a little trip up to scarborough and olivers mount circuit.

It's Olivers Mount in Scarborough.

It a short, tight and fast road racing circuit. They hold about 10 races on it a year. Most of the big road racing names attend like Guy Martin.

Its in a public park so anyone can access it when nothing is on.
