Hi James here in the UK Living in Leeds Yorkshire...

Just picked up my new ride CBR1000F.

Spent a long time on Sports bike but just recently the wife as took an interest in biking so I wanted a decent mile muncher to do some touring on with a degree of comfort for 2.

I am surprised how well the bike works two up; 40 miles yesterday no wrist ache and no crown jewels been bashed on the tank as the wife clatters into my back.

Going on a short 3 day camping trip round the Lake District over the weekend.

That's a really terrible looking bike JD. If I was you, I would be too ashamed to post photos of such a minger.

(You know I'm joking don't you? Welcome to the Hurricane Saloon, where everything is not always what it seems.)

 

Cheers Pal

Welcome to the forum, James.

 

Welcome to the CBR Forum James,

I'm currently enjoying your neck of the woods - we were in Leeds just the other day!

Cheers, SB

 

Thanks all for the welcome..

I have just packed for my first camping trip with the wife on a bike. Hope all goes well, I have bought a cheap intercom so we can chat on the way.

I will post a few pic when we get back.

John...Always as Sherburn maybe see you there some time.

 

Welcome to the forum James, nice clean looking bike, the braided lines help a lot with the braking.

Lots of good information here for keeping her in tip-top condition and lots of other 1000F owners, bot here in the UK and overseas.

Don't forget to post pictures from the trip

BTW your bike is the identical twin to KilgoreTrout's
