Right then......here he is

Post by Beamish »

I picked him up this afternoon and have managed a quick fifty miles before kids and wifey stop play. I faaaaarrrrrkkkiiinnnn luuuuurrrrvvvve it
:D :D :D :D
It feels like I have finally found biking Nirvana. Enough grunt to leave the cages behind, THE best gearbox I have had the pleasure of using (including the brand new Blade) and phaaaarrrrrp snick, phaaarrrrppp snick, you know what I mean! Twins rule.............. I may not get jailed for doing 160mph in a 60 zone now, the fun starts at a lot lower speed :twisted: God it feels good. You lucky bar stewards that realised early doors that this is the bike to own should have told me sooner :biggrin (I know I prob ignored you :oops: ) you all still need to ride the new Blade though its a peach.......... (proper track tool). Anyhoo here he is.

The side profile gives me engineers wood :D ......do I change the cans or leave original? I quite like the idea of an unmolestered SP to be honest but i love the sound of some good cans :D

Immense... :) I love it.

Once pennies allow I will have one (or a 2 :lol:)...

In the words of Wayne Campbell "It will be mine, oh yes...it will be mine..."

Congrats Jim. Looks ace.

if there's such a thing as a better looking bike than that one, I've never seen it 8)

leave it standard jim, unless you've got a spare £280 for the PC111 plus dyno time that goes with new cans :wink:

I knew it :!: :!: :!: , all this about the Blade not being up to scratch was just a ploy to get back on a V twin :wink: :lol:

All joking aside a lovely looking bike Jim 8) and it certainly sounds like you're happy as hell with it :D

Please ignore my last posts to your original reply with pic's of this beast. It looks like you beat me to it :D

Chris.

PS. I darn't ride one of these now, after all the praising you've given this bike, it could be too risky :wink2

Absolutely spot, on it looks magic in the black ( the best colour for any bike :wink2 ). I wish I had one, enjoy it.
