Hello... Errr... That's about it. Hi.

I have recently returned to riding a Blackbird and figured I'd join and say hi.

I used to have a lovely Blackbird before, really clean until it got written off on the A1 in London. After that I have been through some great and not so great bikes.

But today I picked up an '06 Blackbird... It's been well used but still pulls like a train and handles right and i'm looking forward to giving it some TLC over the next few years.

Hiya, and welcome, please don't be put off by the sarcastic comments on here, the vast majority are decent people and will put themselves out for you if you have a problem, the search button at the top of the page should answer most of your questions "I use it for the stupid ones, such as what tyres should I buy" that way you will avoid a lot of flak 8rfl@ stick with it and you'll get the idea, many of us have met and go on rideouts and weekends away, h1d1ng2 so feel able to take the piss a bit more than an anonymous fellow on a web site, hopefully you will be able to join in on some of the above and meet some of us face to face, we've avoided many a punch up by doing so !! b0x1

PS Nice bike, shame it's not a fast red un, :-0)

Welcome - you've got a great colour scheme. Ignore those who prefer pink. It's just jealously coz their paint fades and ours doesn't :-0)

Clueless in most things
I always found a manhole cover in the garden great for flushing body parts down :-0)

Nice bike by the way.
