YES!!!!!!!!
I am now the proud owner of a 2000 CBRXX!!

I'm picking her, Azura (I have a name picked already, I know....sad!!)
up on Wednesday evening,
should be my quickest/scariest/slowest (delete as applicable) run home.

CanadianBird · 06-29-2009, 5:50 PM

Are you still alive?

shewie · 06-29-2009, 5:55 PM

He hasn't picked it up yet, CB.

Congrats, by the way!

Grutok · 06-29-2009, 6:22 PM

Thanks Shewie!!

I'm probably going to post a list of bits over the next few days, hopefully someone here will be able to help me out or point me in the right direction.

Talk about a vote of confidence.........

My aim for the bike is touring, not "ludicrious" speed, so I'll be looking for a touring screen (MRA Vario looks good), SW Motech racks and Kappa/Givi boxes, etc,etc........

There are a lot of very bright and experienced people here who can help you with whatever you need to know. Just remember that the search function is your friend...

flblackbird · 06-29-2009, 7:32 PM

Congrats!

Nutter67 · 06-29-2009, 8:26 PM

Just try to get some sleep between now and Wednesday.......

Good luck with the ride home. And let your brain control your right wrist, not your adrenaline.

Shorebird · 06-29-2009, 9:11 PM

Congratulations - The first ride is the best! At 7K RPM something wonderful happens- My apologies to 2001.

Why are you appologizing to 2001?

Congrats!!! You will love it.

Banshee · 06-29-2009, 9:36 PM

Enjoy!

That's an order!

I would describe the bike as deceptively fast. They made the engine so smooth that you will be sitting on the limit & a couple of rolling hills later, you glance down & realise you are closing in on double the speed you intended to do. Mr Plod takes a dim view of this, so be careful!

The colour is irrelevent.....if it's fast enough to tighten (or loosen!) your sphincter, then that is ALL that matters!!!!

And anyway, you can twitter on about all those other chromatic abberations, Blue is just too cool for words.

If I can't get it stopped in 150 miles, then I think I have other issues to worry about!!!

heisti · 06-30-2009, 9:06 AM

right. all the salt in the chain...
if it is a cliff you don´t have to remove the sand ;-)

shewie · 06-30-2009, 9:26 PM

The cliffs are south of him, aren't they?

Poundstretcher · 07-01-2009, 6:25 AM

Hope you enjoy your bird as much as I do

Any decent cliffs in this country are on the Atlantic (West) coast, from West Cork all the way to Donegal, and I am about as far East as it possible to be, without getting my feet wet.

Thanks, should be picking it up in about 7 hours, 20:00 local time.
I want the traffic to have lightened up for the first run.
If you don't hear from me by 22:00, send flowers!!

My mistake. For some reason I thought they were on the southern shoreline.

Strek · 07-02-2009, 8:51 PM

SO how do you like it? Do we need to send flowers?

lois · 07-02-2009, 8:55 PM

Congrats.....and just in case.......

Lois

Nutter67 · 07-03-2009, 3:18 AM

Sorry to report that after returning home, he was smiling so much, the top of his head fell off.

RIP Grotuk.
