Introduction

I have owned my CBR1000RR FireBlade (European Blue, Black and Silver) since March 2005. By far the best bike I’ve owned to date.

I have done limited mods which are Flapper, Exhaust and R & G Bungs. A PC111 and a bit of rolling road time next year would probably be about it for me.

Did my first Track Day this year at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit. I’ve not excuse not to do more as its only ten miles up the road from me. Definitely on the list for 2006, when the weather improves.

As I said I live near Brands which is about 25 miles from London. We have some great roads here as you go down towards the South Coast which is a trip I do with a few mates most sunny Sunday mornings. Luckily the Blade is kept for pleasure and I have an old car for the daily commute.

That’s me done

Re: New Member From England

welcome, I'm also from the UK. Have you joined the UK Blade site, go to http://forum.honda-forums.com/ and click on Honda-Forums. We meet up and arrange quite a lot of stuff, most of us know each other, plus there's lots of tech stuff there too. I'm Lara9292 there. So you can guess what Blade I have then

Re: New Member From England

Thanks to everyone for the welcome

Phobiaphone. Yes it is a Scorpion. Had it on about 4 months and am very pleased with it. You can almost get you’re arm inside it. Nice deep sound

Sheepofblue. Don’t ever go to Wales. Cos you know what they do to sheep there. It’s not natural . Getting painted would be the least of your worries

never seen that color scheme before. I like it a lot. I've always been partial to that blue. The euro 954, the US '06 F4i and now that, all look freakin awesome.
