  2. Well finally got it back yesterday. Whilst it was in, I got a Tracker fitted. Hah take that you thieving bastards. Anyway, I got it home, cleaned it, tried to start it, f-ing immobiliser went off oh FFS! :mad: Finally managed to get it to burst into life. Tried a few more times and percentage wise, started more times than it didn't. Pleased it started this morning, but back to the dealers I go this afternoon to see if they can shed some light onto the problems
     
  3. Don't buy any lottery tickets right now, you're are clearly not in luck...

    Hope you get the bike back soon working, winter is coming!

  4. Thats 'king stressful Matt !
     
  5. Yep :tongue: Find the problem. The antenne for the immobiliser is playing up, so Ive had to order a new one of them to. Now Ive got a clutch problem (see tech help)...this is getting really tiresome. Did you know I can get an Blade for under £8k?
     
  6. You could get a bloody good low mileage 2009/10 for just less than £7k if you hunt about ;)

  7. junk the alarm, junk the tracker, stop repeatedly starting and stopping it.

    Big chain and padlock, get it out start it once, ride it stop it and chain it up again.....never leave it anywhere other than locked up or between your legs!

  12. Nothing wrong with a Blade at all mate, in fact I suspect anybody who's ridden one from an RR8 onwards would be saying the same thing.

    might not give you that exclusive feeling of the Ducati but they handle superbly, fueling is sublime and they go like bloody stink.

    having both is the way forward, it gives you perspective ;)
     
  13. i am currently using a 2013 blade at work and its the most uncomfortable thing going.....
     
  14. on unmarked duties again?
     
  15. Has somebody put a thumb tack on the seat as a practical joke?
