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 . 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 ) 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.
