...holding on for dear life
Alright there, I'm Andy and I just picked up my new (well second-hand but it's new to me!) CBF600 N6 yesterday from Bristol and rode back to London on it.

Blimey, I wasn't really used to the power as I passed my test in August and haven't really ridden apart from a hired CB500 that was about ready for the knackers yard. There was quite a bit of side wind coming home which, I'll be honest, sh*1 me right up!

Anyway just posting to say hello and I'll post a couple of pics soon.

Hello matey and welcome. I'm very jealous of you (we all are), 'cos you soon get used to the acceleration.....then you get a bigger bike, then an even bigger bike, but it never really feels as good as your 1st big bike. Hopefully the ZZR1400 that I want I will get next year and if that don't do it for me then there's nowt else out there.
