I'm trying to run year 'round this year.

I need a full weekend (actually two) to do what I want.

Brake overhaul. Carb sync. etc.

Default What have you done to your CBR 1000f today?

What have you done to your CBR 1000f today?

OR

How far would you drive for another CBR1000F today?

I just met up with SebastianBear and he has just driven 1,500km round trip (covering 2 Australian states) to pick up another CBR1000F!
Half and hour to load the bike - and hour for lunch with NagaThai then back on the road for the return trip.

Now that's what I call CBR1000F dedication!!!!

Sensational bike but I won't steal his thunder so I'll wait for him to tell you all about it.

Holy **** Naga, you appear to have aged considerably in the short time since you met Seb.

Exactly how much Baroosa Red have you guys put away?

And I did't even notice. I didn't feel a thing!

TK - then let this be a waring to you!!!

Bloody great looking candidate you scooped up right there ( and that's the Bike TK ! lol )

Seriously - not too shabby at all - also see she has the right screen ear snapped off

Mine came with the left snapped off - must be you lefty riders

After the big trip yesterday, and the fact that we're off to Vietnam for 5 weeks
in a few weeks time, I promised Joy today would be house/yard/shed day, and so it is

The bike Sprock, is almost unused from new. Still has all the 'witness' marks from torqueing
(yellow paint on bolts), paintwork apart from a few minor scrapes is exceptional, everything
is clean! I'd even go as far as to say it has the original tyres. Manufactured 8/87, 1st registered
in Indiana (?) in 1988. Imported to Australia in 1999.

It had done 4,800 miles (original) when imported and parked 12 or so years ago.

Very detailed and interesting story about how Naga and I independently stumbled on this
bike from different sources - and how I ended up with it .

More later, let the mower idling

Cheers, SB
