Hi all just thought i’d introduce myself [
] ive been a biker since 1980 & I can be found either blatting about the country on various bikes or up to my neck in grease & bits of tube while building something in a moldy shed in the midlands I’m currently running a stock fireblade simply cos i had to get that one out of my system while the old bones will still just about take it but i’m more in to streetfighters & anything odd so the blade is up for grabs
looking forward to finding my way round the site & chatting to some of you soon
cheers slim [
]Greetings slim[

Welcome Slim, what year is the blade and have you enjoyed getting out of your system??
This link will help you to get a flavour of the site:
Interesting threads across the site
What is your biking history? I started riding just after you in 1982 and I had to take the dreaded two-part test. Seems so simple compaared to the phaff everybody has to go through now
Thanks for the welcome
Heres a short biking history ….. my first legal bike on the road was a H100 in march of 1980 quickly followed by a Z250 a few months later, the longest ive been off the road since then is 14 months but ive had a couple of short layoffs while ive been building
i built my first chop in around 82 (cb750) & my first trike around 15 years ago neither were particularly good but ive learnt a bit since then [
]a gpz9 fighter i built 8 years ago is still kicking around & attracting loads of attention, ive got a particular soft spot for aircooled & oil cooled suzuki’s & think ive worked my way through the whole model range from 400cc up over the years, some rats some fighters & some stock restorations with a couple more trikes thrown in for good measure 28 years & probably 40+ bikes, one day i’ll find one i’m truly happy with ……. maybe [
]Sounds like a really interesting collection of bikes over the years there bud, could you post some pictures of them?
Hi radar
the blade is a very low milaage 97 r plate honestly the best ive seen with history etc etc, ive enjoyed blatting it around but i’m doing loads of miles lately & as ive got a knackered neck/shoulder having the weight on my arms causes loads of pain quite quickly [] ive thought of fightering it but its really too good to cut up tbh i passed my test in 83 which involved 2 days “training” (drinking coffee & chatting) followed by a ride round the block a few weeks later [
]I did a bit of instructing in the mid to late 90’s so know what you mean about all the faffing around, a lot of it is pointless & useless but some may help people avoid the mistakes i made
