Default New biker from Portugal

Hi fellow CBR owners. I am from S.A. and now live in Portugal. I have owned the following bikes in order from 16 years of age.The majority were Yammies. An MR 50,A DT 360, An XT 500 (the only bony i bought brand new),a TT 600, 2 XJ 900's, an XT 550, a Suzuki GSX 1100, an XT 600, a Virago 1100, A Honda XR 650R and now my 1999 Honda CBR 1000f. I have loved all the bikes i have owned and they were all special to me. My CBR is quite amazing in that it is kinda old skool in that it is super comfortable (large broad seat in comparrison to the newer bikes which is great when you are in your 50's) and i have fitted a WP shock on the back. It also has a K an N filter, short levers and a 4 into 1 stainless exhaust. I have also made a SS radiator guard as the standard one is crap. It also has a German made fork top clamp which takes a standard set of handlebars so you can sit upright when crusing and saves your back. Along with this i have an extended screen which really keeps the wind at bay. This is the only bike i've owned that does not shake it's head at speed and i can drive with one hand at 180 kmh. I will try to send pics asap. Regards and keep on going biking.
