Default New member, new bike and new-ish rider:)

Hi everyone. I've just recently past my test after riding on a CBR125 for about 8 months then was lucky enough to be offered my new CBR600F2 for a straight swap. Unfortunatly because I'm in England and couldn't afford the direct access test, it's restricted to 33bhp for two years.
Nevermind eh, it's still plenty fast enough for me right now, maybe just lacking on excelleration at lower speeds but not too badly.
Really enjoying my riding, starting out on motorbikes was the best idea I've had since.....ever?
Looks like a great forum here, I'm sure I'll have plenty of noob questions to come

Here's my baby,

Very nice. Love the Repsol.

That HP Restriction is a genius idea if you ask me. Keep the idiots alive - at least longer - for the most part.
