| Re: newbie just saying hi Welcome! Great to have another Englander amongst us.
Hope you're not planning on touring on your new Blade. It's hardly the couch that 9R was. However, sheepofblue, resident 1000RR iron-arse, tells us the big thou tours just fine.  |

| Re: newbie just saying hi A 954 isn't exactly a distance machine, especially with that stock saddle. Hell, it's been two summers and I'm still sore from that sumbitch.  |

| Re: newbie just saying hi 
the weight difference and few more ponies is definetly worth it.
you can send that ZX9R over here. I'm trying to start a bike collection but no one seems willing to help, ie donate a bike to the cause.
