Default Belated return to the fold!

This is my first post here so a bit of a story to introduce myself. I bought a new CBR1000F in 1990 to celebrate getting a new job. Nine months later it was spirited away in the night by persons unknown. :-(
The nearest to new I could get with the insurance payout was a 10 month old VFR750. (Another great bike.) This served me well for a number of years before I tried something different, a Ducati ST4 and then an ST4S that I still have. A friend is visiting later in the year to go to the Isle of Man TT races. He found a bike on eBay. He sent the money and asked me to buy and fettle it for him to use when he visits. The bike is a 1987 CBR1000F-H so by a bit of a roundabout route I have had a chance to reacquaint myself with a model that I didn’t get chance to know properly back in 1990. J
Thank you to this forum for helping me to find a lot of useful information to help me to get this bike in good running order.

Welcome to the CBR Forum Ed.

Make sure you drop into the Hurricane Saloon and say Hi to the reprobates in there. Make sure you don your tin-foil hat beforehand though

Cheers, SB

Welcome back to the 'cane! Sorry to hear about your first one, but I'm glad to hear you have your "new" one running well. Post some pics when you can.
