The page has closed due to so many donations and generosity I went 4 times over my goal!!! Any further donations can be made directly to SSBB on their website and you could put in a comment regarding support for the blood blade :) The custom designed rack for the Givi panniers is being fabricated ov...

Gutted to miss it!!! Nice to know it was mentioned

Looking at getting a second, newer Fireblade in 2016 and did a bit of looking around at bikes and decided to check what it would be like to insure in comparison to my older blade... Current blade: 2003 954cc valued at £3000 doing 12,000 miles a year = £203 Looked at getting a 2010 blade with low mil...

The total donated came to £800 in just over 24hrs

... and the blade is now in the workshop, to be collected either 28th or 29th December! Pictures to follow

I've had 3 offline donations, 2 x £10 and £50 from my grandparents taking the total now to £680... just £20 shy of £700!!!

Blown away.

*blush* - I'll keep the helmet on in the pics... save the vision as a good one!

I started riding with TVAM-RAMs for my IAMs test about a year ago, and continued with advanced riding for a month after passing before taking the assessment ride for blood bikes... it was about an hours ride taking in every road type - in heavy wind and rain... and then it went dark because we were ...

They're shite. Really bad customer service. I had all sorts of problems with them as they got some very basic details wrong on my insurance. Then when I decided not to renew it took forever to get confirmation of my no claims. Have a read of this thread on 675cc http://www.675.cc/675/threads/mce-in...

Sure am an unpaid volunteer... it's going to cost me around £200 to have the bike liveried... plus however much I end up spending to replace my lid with something less pink...

But it is so worthwhile! What a buzz!! Loved the rides today, and a genuine knowledge that today I helped people

This weekend has been a bit busy for me... Yesterday I did my assessment ride to become a Blood Biker for Shropshire and Staffordshire Blood Bikes - and passed!!!!! (party) The ride was very wet, windy, bloody freezing and on some twisty, muddy roads... loved it! Today was my first day "on call...

Put up the Christmas tree... 7ft tall and real!! round my dads place Nandos lunch for my nieces 4th birthday that she had a temper tantrum in while I ate my mashed potato and chargrilled veg (solids off the menu post wisdom tooth removal) while wishing I was eating chicken and not with children...

Original - we'll stand out from the crowd with this. (rock) Hoping that this wind calms down and rain stays away! (rain) See you there :)

Soft food... today was at a gastro-pub and ordered the tortellini exceptionally overcooked so that I could eat it without chewing... another week of eating like this courtesy of my impacted wisdom tooth being evicted.
