hi one and all, just recently returned to an r1 from a blade. Had a 5pw years back and now just got hold of a 4c8, not had much of a ride on it as of yet with work commitments but the time on it so far is all looking good. no doubt I will be bugging you all with questions later, look forward to chats and possible meets.

Bike history, first bike a bandit, to front wheel happy very light not the best for having just past test. Second cbr600f bullet proof go anywhere do anything bike. Third was a 954 blade owned for two weeks took back to yamaha garage to investigate rattle, loaned me a brand new 4c8, fell in love. Garage kept 954 and for my fourth bike I walked out with a 5pw. Had my best years on that bike until it had an argument with a newly qualified drivers rear end of the car, gutted. Fifth bike rr5 blade never really comfortable on road after accident. Sixth bike gsxr 600 k3 track days only. Seventh bike swapped gsxr for a zx12r Jesus that thing could get a proper wiggle on, so got rid of that before I lost my licence or more. Eighth bike 2010abs blade great to start with but lost its excitement quickly, was to clinical, never got fazed by any situation so really got boring. And now here we are on a 4c8. First ride back from garage car on my side of the road round a bend on narrow Cornish lane, grabbed handful stamped on brake, rear started to slide released brakes squeezed through gap got home laughing and smiling again. Feeling back for bike again, thank you 4c8 lol :D :D
