Bought myself a Fireblade!

**Deviant Esq** · 12th March 2007, 08:05

Had to do it, couldn't resist! Went to Blackpool this weekend to check out the theme park there as well as the city in general. It was a boom city in the early 1900s, a major tourist destination for summer holidays, the happening place. But now, it's not quite the same as it once was. Roller coasters and the theme park are still great fun though!

Anyway, I digress. Happened across this Fireblade, lovely condition, just sitting there asking to be bought... who am I to say no?! Permission from the better half was obtained, I tried it for size and it was just right. So I did it!

Shame it's only a t-shirt!

I see you chose the brilliant new design for those who wish to continue riding real bikes, well done.

Actually your tshirt may even go faster than a fireblade once the spin cycle kicks in on your washing machine!!!!

i had a honda once; that was too many times

it did everything quite well of course but was terribly boring and lacked any semblence of character or soul

You've never been to Salford have you.....?!

Shame what Blackpool (and the whole of the Fylde coast) has become. It used to be so lovely and very majestic.

But not the 'kiss me quick' hats - they've never been too attractive!

Passed through, but chose not to hang around manky town for any period other than to watch the odd rugby game.

Blackpool wasn't as scary in a physically threatening way, more kind of a weird hallucinogenic sea-side arcade time-warp zombie nightmare.

That, and there's no shortage of drunken teenage yobs there too. Teenagers pretty well can't be policed over here for whatever reason so they pretty much do whatever they want. Couple on Saturday night were lucky I didn't beat them senseless, stupid buggers. Still, it didn't ruin the weekend, we had a good time (during the day when the morons were sleeping off hangovers or whatever), and of course I picked up that t-shirt. Quite pleased with it
