New to the fold!
Discussion
Hi all
I've been a long term member of the site, but have finally taken the plunge and booked my direct access for middle of next month! I've had bikes before, but just for across farms etc.
I got a bit carried away last weekend and bought a Honda CBR600 rr as well... Photo below. Talking to a few people and doing some research they seem quite forgiving and hopefully a good fun starter bike!
Anyway thought I would say hello and looking forward to getting into the fold! August can't come quick enough... (Better pass now!)
Cheers
Tim

Thanks all!
What are they like for pillion? Also how long do you think I should give myself getting road experience before offering?
Like any sports bike, I imagine it would be utterly miserable for them, and it will slow you down and make the bike handle worse, so you won't want to offer anyway.What are they like for pillion? Also how long do you think I should give myself getting road experience before offering?
Honda's are the dogs bks.
Especially in black. It doesn't get any cooler than that. Well, maybe Repsol (because that's a lot of black as well) but that's about it .
Welcome OP and, I fulhartly agree:
Then, after about a year, I swapped it for one with more than twice the displacement and horsepower

First time you give it some you will need a bigger helmet to fit your smile in
It was probably the first time I uttered something along the lines of "motherfkingjezusisthislegal" as well.Then, after about a year, I swapped it for one with more than twice the displacement and horsepower
Thanks for the welcome all! (Including Biker's Nemesis, you ****! )
Definitely counting down - theory booked for 8th August, Direct Access 18th - 21st August...
2 piece suit should be delivered tomorrow and I'll go helmet/boot/glove shopping soon.
Would any recommend getting any comms? As above I can't see me taking pillion that regularly, but for the times I do it might be handy?
