I reckon I am in the right place. I had loads to do tonight, except I can't get off this site! And i'm glad i'm not the only one who likes CBRs. It suits me for the moment, but I definitely want to try out some knobblies one day.
Lizzie and I are having counselling due to our addiction to the site and the lack of house work, cooking and general chores.

So welcome to the site you are in good company. :)
Never enough time and so much to see and experience.

hello Alicia, welcome from another newbie.
They seem fairly normal in here :)
"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.

You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.

And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....

....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.

Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;

Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

I love that colour scheme on your bike, I've never seen one that colour before. B)
Are you thinking of getting a bike for offroading as well or taking the CBR? :evil:

Classic timing... CRAIGREVO's pic directly after Tyrant68's "They seem fairly normal in here!" :laugh: :laugh:

Welcome, Alicia.

Nice bike, but then it's a CBR! :)

Welcome in Alicia,

Nice bike too - Rode one of those and was impressed with its ability, knee down on one of those is no problem, it loves to lean lots. Next time you buy some tyres, fit some Avon storm touring rubber, or even some Avon viper sports tyres - you'll find them amazing for knee-scrubbing action!

I really hope you enjoy your first steps into biking and it sounds like your having fun.

I've already persuaded SWMBO to get a bike once she finishes Uni, she wants an SV650s (older curvy model) or a Gixxer 600 with the 3 way power modes, 65bhp on 'c' mode seems to appeal to her with the option to increase the power modes with confidence. Unfortunately she doesn't see the appeal in getting dirty :(

I suppose I'll be green laning alone then? :(
