Information: The third-generation Fireblade, known by some as the ''Lardy Blade'' due to its less-sporty image compared to the original and ''fox-eye'' models. Bought new in 1998 from Tinklers of Norwich after being offered a great deal over the fox-eye model I intended to buy. I had a lot of fun on this bike, most notably during a weekend trip to Matlock. Sold back to Tinklers for financial reasons before starting at university.
