Hey everyone, I'm 24 year old fella from Finland.

I have owned 3 CBR's, two 125 cc ('08 and '05) when I was aged 16-18 and now after a while I'm getting back to the riding with a 1992 1000F. (I also had two Monkeys when I was younger, that's where my love towards Hondas started, but I suppose those mopeds don't belong to this forum)

One of my biggest reasons on joining to this community is my upcoming trip on my 1000F. If everything goes according to plan I will be embarking on a trans-Europe journey after mid-august. I will be driving from Finland to Spain in about three weeks time span. I wish to hear thoughts and suggestions from you professionals for the trip. Awesome roads, fine places to see etc..

I have been reading this forum for a couple of weeks and I really enjoy the atmosphere here. I have already benefited from the vast information shared here regarding servicing the 1000F.

My long-term dream is to own a 2004-2005 Fireblade, the undertail exhaust and overall looks of that specific time period Fireblade has always aroused me greatly.

I attached some photos of my beloved 1000F (By the way, she's named Hollyann)

As implied before, this is my first time posting and it has also been a long time since writing on English so if I made some terrible blunders either in grammatical sense or in forum etiquette, please feel free to correct and advise me so I can do better next time!


Happy rides to everyone,
Matt

 

welcome and hi please be very careful as its big and heavy bike is the 1000f also it will be a lot faster them you are used to so be careful and enjoy you shelf

 

Welcome. Your grammar is flawless. I wish some of the native english speakers around here could do so well!
Take many pictures along the way and post them up like a trip journal as you go. We would love to share the ride with you.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be sure to take it easy with the heavy and powerful bike. Luckily I have been riding 350 EXC in the woods for a couple of years so I haven't totally lost the feel and skill of riding. Of course it's a different world and the KTM is such a light bike.

Thanks again, I'll do my best when posting so it would be as enjoyable to read as it is for me to share.
I usually take almost too much photos on my trips so I will gladly share those with you guys!

 

Hei ja tervetuloa!
