    Hi Everyone.....

    I've just joined the forum...... having just bought a CBR1000RR SP.....

    All i can say is WOW the SP is simply stunning...... :)

    I have to be honest I had not intended to get the SP, in fact I had not ridden a bike for 10 years due to family commitments..... always stayed interested, had friends i use to ride with telling me to just get another bike,

    Well I popped into my local Honda dealer to ask about some helmet pods for an old Arai helmet that i wanted to just display at home, and while i was in there i saw an SP and i just thought it was a beautiful looking motorcycle, ended up popping back to have a look a couple of times and then thought life is too short...... So now i am lucky enough to have one of these beautiful machines..... pity my talent doesn't match the bike!!

    I'm a little rusty so i'm taking it easy, and trying to get my head around how incredible this motorcycle is
    :)......

    I live close to Hythe, so I'm enjoying some of the roads around the New Forest, so if you see a slow coach on an SP that will be me :)....... If you live around this area and you don't mind going out with a rusty old guy give me a shout.....

    Catch you later

    You made the right choice, life is too short to always second guess yourself and shy away. Cracking bike you have, enjoy and welcome to the forum :)
