Evening all, it’s been many years since I’ve been part of an owners club, but then again (due to family) it’s been many years since I’ve had a toy which I was so into as I am my bike!

Passed my DAS 2 weeks ago, and already had my bike waiting for me tucked away in my garage. Go easy on me, SOME PEOPLE say a sports bike isn’t suitable for a beginner, but it’s a bike I’ve always wanted so after hearing advice from both sides, I decided to go for it. I bought me CBR600RR-7 a week before passing my test and I’ve put 400miles on it since (whoops!).

Completely standard apart from a Scorpion can, I must say, I am absolutely hooked. No real plans to change anything yet, as you can imagine there’s not really any need to.

I work for Pirelli Tyres so have a lot of people I can ask for help through work regarding bikes in general, but thought a more knowledgable group would be more beneficial when I get to know it better. Not really had much mechanical experience with cars, so other than basic things I’m running a bit blind at the moment!

She's a gorgeous looker!

As CaBaRet says, do what the hell you want. Sounds like you're not a teenager and have got more than fresh air between your ears, so enjoy yourself.

Welcome to the forum.

 

 

Nice looking ride. There are a lot worse bike to start out on. The biggest mistake is to start out with a heavy bike, you did good.


welcome!
