The obligatory "hi" thread
Hi,
Im CaNsA from Liverpool, UK. I Work for the NHS doing IT Support.
Been on 2 wheels now for a good few years, started off on a Honda CLR125 and ragged the **** out of it until i passed my test and bought a zxr400 L1. Sold the kwak about 6weeks ago for 1500 quid and bought a cbr600f (1995) for 900 quid with a full delvic race system of a bloke on ebay.
I have to be honest and say that i hated the cbr for the first couple of weeks. The riding position was all wrong, i went into a corner to hot and went through a hedge @ 55mph 3hrs after buying the damn thing. It was well funny. picked up the bike and carried on lol. no damage to me or the bike.
But after using it every day, and not trying to ride it like a zxr im starting to like is. Actually im starting to like it a fair bit, truth be told.
Ill get some pics one day, when im not working or in the pub, cos im having a bit of trouble finding out which version it is and im after a sports rack for it.
Anyways, peace out, stay lucky, live long and all that jazz

Cheers for the welcome guys.
It was awesome, my mate couldnt lift the bike off my leg cos he was laffin so hard. He had tears streaming down his face.
quote from my mate chuckles
"he lined up beautifully, got a cheek off the seat, dropped his shoulder and he looked like he was gonna take it like a pro.......
then i seen smoke from his tyres, the front lifted about a foot of the road as he went up the kerb and into a hedge. as i pulled up to the hedge i seen a lid pop up from behind it and a little wave."
Right time to get ready for work.
im outta here.
catch u later
