I kid you not. I decided to try one and was instantly addicted. I'm on my second 'Blade now, a really neat L-reg Urban Tiger. It still leaves me speechless after 7 years of owning the things. The 'Blade handles like it's on rails, accelerates like a bloke late for a date with Melinda Messenger and goes round any bend you like as fast as you like.
Straight line is obscenely rapid.
However, In town it's a puppy - all legal limits are attainable. A quick but important digression. During this second childhood I joined a local group of motorcyclists who train in the art of Advanced Motorcycling. The group is called the Kent Advanced Motorcyclists Group and I have been a member for over 8 years now, becoming an Observer and latterly the group Chairman. My riding technique has improved profoundly and the enjoyment of my riding has been greatly enhanced also.
