Hi from the UK
Hi all,

Just joined today - rude not to say hi

Long time blade rider, long time internet user, first time on this site ~ go figure?!

I've had my blade nigh on 3 years.

I bought it as a 6 yr old with 5,000 miles & now it's 9 yrs & 25,000

I have a fair few mods from the de rigour 17" front wheel, to 6 pot brakes, to a full on WP shock + race tech revalved & re-sprung front end.

I do ALL my own work on the bike, so hopefully someone will find a need for my experiences...

My bike dynos @ 118 RWHP with can+K&N+dynojet on the hotest day of the yr in the uk... really take it back when its cooler...

to be honest I had a 'prilia 250 before, so the power is not such an issue

I'm toying with the idea of keepin the blade for ever (especially after test ridin the new one)

so i figured it was high time to join a OL forum & get into the bike as a genre !!!!

Righty i'll shut up now & go read the reat of the forum!

Thanks

adam
