Anyway I have a CBR600 F3 ... I absolutely love it to death and have had it for ten years now since I bought it new ..it's quite enough for me!! ... it's quite light and I am also very light so I reckon I can whup you guys any day of the week ;-)

Here is my bike ...

Hi and welcome.

Its great to see a lady with a bike and looks after it. Not many down here....

Love the colour scheme....

I'm half way through restoring a 93 CBR1000F. A guy bought it to New Zealand from Australia and gave up on it.

Hoping to have her ready by the start of our summer down here, around November.

Take care and stay upright...

Hi Juliet

Beautiful bike and great write up on counter steering. I am a new rider as of last year and this forum has been extremely helpful. I learned about countersteering reading a post by Mikekop (thanks!) https://cbrforum.com/m_331942/tm.htm I had a hard time computing it in my mind, then I tried it and it clicked. Its Huge and every rider should be aware, it has saved my a_se a couple times. Good stuff!

Chris

Does this mean I can't be walking around in my underwear anymore?
