Hi to All and Congrats on a superb site.

On the 15th of January, I became an owner of a motorcycle that I only ever dreamed of owning.......
The flagship "Super Blackbird" in beautiful black with a black frame and black wheels.... Awesome (to me anyway).

She has had one very careful owner since 1st reg in 2000 and he has put all the Honda extras that I would have chosen myself.... and some that I wouldn't have, but may still find useful

What more could I ask for!

She had done 23,000 dry miles and has a FHondaSH...... but I have done 2500 miles in 4 months and only have 3000 as the limit on my insurance and it isn't even summer yet!! lol

I've been on 4 wheels only for the last 10 years and only had a Kawasaki GPX750R then, so this is a big jump after a long absence..... I've been carefully getting used to her for a while and enjoying every moment

Any tips or warnings happily received (and a few noteable comments I'm sure)

I'm really pleased to have realised a dream, it hasn't happened often for me, so I'm kinda pleased as punch

So Hi to you All, maybe see a few of you in time? (I'm on the Norfolk/Suffolk Border. UK).

Thanks
Tim

Hello and welcome Tim. Nice looking bike you have there. You're not too far from me and Andy, so maybe we can hook up for a rideout sometime, if you don't mind being seen out with us on a CBR6 that is! :-0)

Hello and welcome TigerTim. You made an excellent choice, but I'm sure you know that already.

Now, down to business. Want a sweetie little boy? Eh? Eh?

Tim,

A refusal may offend so I'd say yes please !
I don't get offended by refusals (they save me money!) but occasionally offence has been taken due to the wording of the refusal however.

Funny, we never saw him again, did we?
