Intro: New UK owner
 

Hey guys, just wanted to say hi and cheers for the good forum. I've recently passed my Mod 2 (Monday) and got straight out on my 99 CBR F4 which I picked up last weekend.

The bike is way more than I expected. After learning on a CB500 I expected a little struggle when I first got out on it but its been pretty forgiving so far.

About 3 corners into my first ride as I pulled out my street, I accidently dropped the clutch little quick and lost the back wheel, luckily managed to keep it upright but I went from feeling like a pro to a total newbie straight away, hence the name :icon_teeth:. Was a real quick way to learn alot of respect for the bike.

I've just been taking it easy for the first few days (and for the foreseeable future :icon_couchhide: ) but its fantastic, feels great getting out riding without having someone barking orders into your ear.

I used this forum for some good info prior to buying the bike and would like to say thanks.

Hello to you too Craig! :) Congrats on passing your test. Welcome to the forum.

I have an F4 as well...great bikes! Be sure to come over to the F4 section & post some pics when you get a chance.

Ride safe & enjoy! :icon_bike:

Yeah - gotta keep a healthy respect for these beasts!

Glad you didn't put her down though. And post up some pics of your new girl!

I felt the same way Nate, the massive sigh of relief i took as i continued along the road nearly pulled the visor off my helmet :D

I'll drop a few pics in the F4 section
