Sunny day ride to Oliver's mount yesterday with a like minded mate.

Nice. Do you call stops ‘brew ups’?

Fantastic. actually sold my blade and bought a 750 as I wanted something a bit more engaging to ride. Great choice.

Ahhh that’s good to know. Just couldn’t find a decent Blade. This was a second choice really but now I’ve got it I’m quite glad I didn’t find one!

I had a 2005 Blade. It was clinical, fast, easy to ride. I liked it, but it was probably a bit dull. I sold it thinking I was leaving sportsbikes behind, as I also have a 1000 naked.

Got the itch, bought the 750. Wanted something I had to rev, and use the gearbox on....and actually ride, rather than just waft along being lazy. It's great.

The ones I put on there if I recall were after doing a couple laps of the ring (that's the one where they looked a bit snotted up) and then some road riding to clean them up. They were at about 2200 miles on the pics if I recall

Dad buzzing the tower with the Bantam.....

Always good to see the 350 Bryan

Thanks John... maybe taking it down to another 2T meet at the Ace Cafe this Sunday so it'll make up for the "lost" miles last year soon enough.

Is your 125 all sweet now?

New bike day for me today! Was really looking for a 954 Fireblade as per my thread on here a month or two ago, but when this popped up I had to have it. It’s a 2010 Gsxr 750, in brown according to the V5 but it kinda flips between black and copper depending on light.
Definitely not too everyone’s taste but I love it! It’s my second bike after 18 months on a Hornet, and after a quick 20 miles can’t stop smiling

Looks the business. Always wish I'd bought a gsxr750 at some point. Don't know why I haven't.

Very nice indeed, nowt wrong with a GSXR750 of any type, friend of mine had a similar year to yours and that made good power after a full system and some ECU/PC work , an easy bike to ride briskly on the roads thats for sure.

@birky thats a great shot, very Bob Collins'esque ...

Had my pics back from Aragon, had Alex James take mine and a mates Pani out for pitlane shots ...

Pick a flavour .....

[dern]

Both lovely although very slightly prefer the blue one, sorry.

Gorgeous bikes and photo Dibble, but the right hand Pani needs gold rim tape instead of red please.

Thats ok .... thats not the best pic of mine as its doesn't really show off the black on black ..... but Daves 1299 does look great, Mick at Rage Designs painted that one ....

Just because ...

Cheers, was on my list but ran out of time to sort before aragon, also finding a matt gold tape is proving a challenge, I may just get the wheels painted satin gold ......

[Krikkit]

Can the answer be both? They both look mint.

And as you are aware gold wheels are good for at least 0.1 a lap, slightly bias as have gold wheels but I do think it would finish it off, seem to recall Yamaha doing a special black R1 with gold wheels a few years ago that looked good.

I'd be quite happy just sitting there watching the world go by, yeah the 125 is OK, not been out on it much due to the weather.
