Cool Who was that?

Driving home from London coming through Middle Wallop/Over Wallop towards Salisbury spotted a nice looking CBR1000F Red & White ('89 I think) in a forecourt near a car wash.

Have you noticed that when you buy a car or bike how you become attuned to spotting the same even with a momentary glimpse?

There quite a few of us out there, hopefully I'll be one soon!

Well it wasn't me Apart from being 12,000 miles on the opposite side of this little blue orb, I was busy working on the house and car today.

And it is 'interesting' how you can pick up a CBR1000F in your peripheral vision. There is a guy who rides past our place some weekends, who if I'm quick enough one weekend, I'll wave down and have a chat to. And point him in the direction of the CBRF if he's not aware.

Cheers, SB

I've noticed the same phenomenon no matter what new vehicle I'm driving.

Which is why I won't ride a Harley Davidson on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

There's a nice red and black one I drive past when I'm at work through the week. I've seen half a dozen or so since being here.

Funny thing - must be a time shift - I was following a Red & White 1000F through
Salisbury last week too - thing is this is 3500 miles from where you are

Turns out the rider is a refinisher at Great Bay Auto Body and Marine in Salisbury
Massachusetts

If it's still there next week I'll stop, say hello and invite them in.

If it's for sale
