Hi everyone - new member here from Blackpool (or South Shore for those who know it better). I've been riding a CB900F Hornet for the last 6 years and I've really enjoyed that bike, but now it's time for a change. I'm picking up my new bike (well, new to me) tomorrow afternoon. It's a 2012 (62) CBR1000RR and I'll post some pics over the weekend. I found this forum while doing a little research on the bike and already found it useful - thanks. Ray
Welcome fella. Best get them pics up sharpish - people get twitchy on threads without pics around here...
Welcome to the forum Ray. Hmm Hornet 900 you say.... Geographically speaking I'd guess there's 800-1000 meters between us Enjoy your stay.
Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome. As promised, here is the first (probably of many) pics. The weather looks good for this afternoon, so that's my plan sorted for the day. Interestingly, the first question asked when I arrived home was "do you know that one of the headlights isn't working". Made me laugh given that I'd just been reading the thread about headlight modification. Something I might now look into. Cheers Ray
Met up with my brother for a ride out this afternoon. I was taking it easy as the bike is new to me and new tyres, but still what a bike! Absolutely brilliant.
Hopefully I'll see you around. Let me know if you fancy a run out some time. Depending on work/weather, I hope to have a run out tomorrow (Weds) evening and take in Knott End. Cheers
