Default Hello to you all

I'm one of those Born Again Bikers, so I am back into the fold. I bought some used bare worn gear and a got a deal on an '07 CBR 125r with 1,780MI - probably hard miles he was 16. The kid who owned it dropped it and broke a few things on the left side. Since it was a "deal" I am not expecting perfection. Hopefully with a few leads (and Ebay) I can get it back to a better state, I have to replace the turn signal combo switch, the turn signals on the left and the shift selector, not BIG items just necessary ones. Hope to learn more on here than just what is in the owner's service manual. Repair stuff has changed, though some remains the same. I think I'll be feeling like a Russian Circus bear on that bike but I want to get my "biker legs" back before moving on to a nicer bike.

Thanks for the welcome.

I thought it best to take a learn to ride course again, most of it came back, it was the little ****ling details that I'd forgotten. It is a pity there isn't a "back to the bike course" offered here by anyone. At least around here.
Oh yes, I did pass.

Default Welcome - Thank you!

Thank you for the greeting, it was a bit more than I expected from a group, I am pleased and happy to find somewhere where someone has actually heard of the CBR125r. I've found a fair amount information, more than I expected which is great. Thank you again for the welcome.

It's hard to abandon riding! Glad you are riding again.
