Default New CBR1000f owner, just saying hello
Hi folks

Just bought myself a red and white 1988 CBR1000f-j off Ebay, having a couple of jobs done, chain and sprockets, fork seals, bit of routine really. Thought I would say hello, I live near Leigh outside Manchester, be nice to know if there are any fellow CBR owners nearby.

I go to Rivington Barn regularly, it would be great to have the opportunity to meet any other owners out there, no doubt I'll be back on asking for advice.
Cheers, Steve

Not Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, captained by Colonel Steve Zodiac, crewed with the glamorous Doctor Venus, Professor Matthew Matic and Robert the Robot, I thought this series was fantastic when I was a kid, looks a bit ropey these days lol!! Take a look at this, I've even got the theme song on a single somewhere - Fireball XL5 - Start & Theme Song - YouTube

Hell yeah he is Welcome Steve - stop by the Hurricane section and say hi.

That was one righteous rocket ship - handlebar controls - very futuristic
