Hi all, well today I decided it was time to park up the cbr and I went and ordered a new bike. Wont say what it is unless you ask, it has been great being a member of this forum and are hoping you guys dont kick me out and if its alright would like to pay a visit now and then. Would like to say a special thankyou to everyone who has contributed to assisting with all the technical questions and answers. This is a great site. Will be selling the bike as dont really have room 2 of them. Of all the bikes I've owned this has been the best to date and the hardest to sell.

 

Come and visit often Ray , it's the people that make the site what it is and your one of those people

So c'mon , you gotta let us know which 'hot chick' is gonna become the new love of your life

 

Another Heretic
So come on Raymond, what are you getting?
Once you have had a CBRF there is no going back! so it better be something special
If you have owned a "cane" thats good enough for me, you are always welcome to pop back and chew the fat
(we will need photos of the new lady in your life)

 

BURN THE HERETIC !!!!
EAT HIS HEART WITH BEANS (THANKS TO HANNIBAL LEKTOR)

Visit often, and tell the new owner where we live OK ?............
If you don't- we know where YOU live........................he he he
Enjoy the new bike !
Bloody traitor........................................... .....

 

OK no worries fella's and I dare to say it, a yammy FJR1300 09 model in smokey grey. And thanks for all the nice replies.
Hey shadow you are so funny mate, and yes the bike comes with another link and its not on the chain (cbr forum), for the new owner.

 

IN THE WORDS OF THE GREAT HANK WILLIAMS

(Your cheatin' heart will tell on you)
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name .............(Hurricane)
You'll walk the floor the way
I do your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down...
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
LOL

Best of Luck post a piccie of the new ride

 

Raymond,

I can relate. I used to own a Buell Blast and traded it in on the CBR. I had to find this group to replace my Blast forum. I found the moving on process to be bittersweet. Good luck withe the new ride and stay safe.

Dare I say it but the FJR's a great bike - no quicker than a 1000F, and only 5 gears, but a damned good mile eater.....................I have 3 friends who ride them - I found it a bit too big, but I guess you'll get use to it
But you're still a heretic...................he he
Enjoy........here's where to find the manual......you may need it he he

and Sprocketman, I now have coffee up my nose.........................damn !

 

Spockoholic, I started having nightmares the moment I thought of the idea. I kept dreaming of the consequences and everytime I look at the ole girl in the garage and contemplate giving her to a new owner it looks at me as if to say, how could you!!.
I have treated you so well.

When the sun was beating down on your back, who carried you home
and when the rain poured, did I let out a moan.
On those glorious days when we put on the pace
did I not leave you with a smile on your face
And now I'm to be shafted and lose my place
to some bitch 1300 in my garage space
So I've been retired and taken you far
all for that bitch called a Yamaha, ha.

Regards your EX CBR

 

Arrr Arr good one Ray

Wunder how much shipping to the US would be ? LOL

Just find her a good home Ray...........yer promise right ?

None of dem Mad Max types that'll take her clothes off
