Must admit has been a pretty good year Blade, no more 70hour weeks, more time with the missus and animals, few holidays away and its Christmas again which means 10 days off!!

Do they? I thought they all came with the KIBS?

The Z1000SX only comes in ABS versions next year.

I thought abs was compulsory on all bikes next year ?

Always goes quick when your having fun Rossgo.

Sounds like a good year

ive just ordered a bmc filter for mine ,im going to get it serviced then onto the dyno in the new year

I'm going to throw a curve ball into the mix...this was 1 year ago. Dam that year has gone really fast!! Seems like just yesterday that advert came out

... miles as I put so many miles on bikes... and don't want to ruin this 954 with overly heavy mileage (I want to use it solely for blood bikes next year, she's on nearly 50,000 already) I love the 954, can't fault it... so I may end up just looking at another 954 with lower milage... its just a ...

... the blood blade :) The custom designed rack for the Givi panniers is being fabricated over the next few weeks and is going to be fitted in the New Year :)

... 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 milage, 999cc valued at £6000 doing 12,000 miles a year and only two companies gave me quotes... ...

Only problem is I'm not sure the missus is willing to stand in the corner until the new year

One little bum burp and the whole lot could go up flames quickly

Jack thats a whole buisness model and plan right there. If you can make people look fast, this time next year you will be a millionaire

Cheers Blade and Perkles for the offers. This may just happen next year

If there's any Man Utd fans out there who fancy a winter break, I've heard you cant beat the Canaries this time of year.

... to pull into to put them on too. Winter tyres are worth it on cars though. Some countries make it mandatory to have them on t certain times of year too.

Sainsburys christmas advert from last year. The centenary of the first year of WW1 and a very unique and historic christmas day. Perhaps today's politicians should watch it and learn something about humanity... IMO politicians have wars, soldiers ...

... tell me if the 3D makes a substantial difference, and I'll plan accordingly. My baby brother is coming over from Spain for Christmas & New Year. He's about the right age to have been the original target audience of the original one so maybe I'll get to see it with him & my little Spanish ...

... from the road head! But he did say going into the noive group did teach him an aweful lot. Our IAM group do run track days maybe 2 or 3 times a year (can't remember how many) but apparently they do teach you the ropes. May get myself booked onto their track day first before getting into anything ...

There isn't any graphic blood or violence. No swearing. The baddie is well played though so I'm not sure if your 5 year old would be scared.

My 9 year old really enjoyed it so your eldest will be fine.

It's not a short film. 30 mins of adverts then 2 hour film.

Is it suitable for a 5 and 8 year old ?

Might take the double menaces if they behave for more than an hour. The force is definitely in them today
