Default Hi folks

Hello all! Thought I'd show my face(ish) - I've been lurking on the forum for a bit but the time has come - got myself a luurvely yellow 02 curvy, it's mint with just over 4k on it Done a couple of tankfuls already and...cant...stop...riding...it... It's my first bike - did the CBT / DAS and got the SV a few days later. It's so lithe and responsive compared to the cbf500 I rode on the test!!!

Anecdotally, the bike came with the original Metzlers which, apart from being s*ite were well squared off - thought I'd got the wrong bike until I swapped them out with some Diablo Stradas (sp?). How wrong I was!

Anyway, I have a tendency to ramble. Hi!

Wot they said! Seriously, welcome and enjoy the ride. That's nice low mileage BTW, mine's the same age and has done over 20k!

PS: Best shape, yes. Best colour? Sorry Jen, I love my bluey!

Thanks guys - shiny side up indeed, taking it nice and easy for the time being. Everyone's gotta lean right?

Yeah wicked low mileage - pity really but it's gonna clock up pretty quick.

EDIT: Everyone's gotta learn, hehe... of COURSE everyone's gotta lean Howdo to yoo too bigbaddad

Hehe you know how it is, when you gotta shpeil you gotta shpeil! Yeah it really is a minty, wish I had some better photos but it's pi*sing it down atm. pants. No scratches, stone chips or anything - almost a pity to ride it. Well almost... first mof, on went the R&G crash protectors, more for the mind than anything else (hopefully!)
