Hi, I would like to know how many British Birds are on this Forum and where you are located. I am in Buckinghamshire.

|  Not from the UK but welcome all the same. There is a Map function on the forum that might help you locate other BB owners in your area. Its under Members up on the top. Not everyone who is a member of the forum has pinned their location on the Map but its a start if you are looking for fellow BB owners in your area.

Welcome.
My ancestors left the UK around 1850 to find new adventures in this country.

My father's family weren't convicts (it would have explained a few things about me) but my wife's family were. It is very interesting! We have stories from different points in the family line that demonstrate how life was for our ancestors!

Im in the Bristol UK and got my bird last week - my m8 has 1 too - though i may just sell it as the vibration 3500 to 4500 is bugging me like hell   
going for the Twin Balance shafts are the problem IMHO - Honda trying to get clever when the real world dont like clever, it like tried and tested solutions
why should i spend £500 chasing elusive vibrations - when i can by an Exup or Thunderace i ask myself.
BTW BIG BIG thanks to everyone on this forum and the other BB Forum for all the advice posted - i must of spent a day of my life reading through all the MainTopics
Any 1 want a Burgandy Bird £2500 FSH Mint condition 30k Miles - Top Alarm & Heated grips let me know |

Just noticed this post.
I joined here in mid July.. so about a month ago or so. I'm based in London UK.
My 2006 bird is slowly being sorted out since I got her in July. So far got R&G crash bungs, JAWS bar risers, O2 Eliminator to cure low rev lean surge, touring screen, just had 8k service and fixed oil cooler hose leak oh and full GIVI luggage is being fitted next week! I've just changed all my gore tex kit, glove and got a new helmet.. BTW all of this is for 2 weeks euro touring at the start of sept

Yup: The worlds leading Honda Blackbird site (as Canadian Bird mentioned) and The IXXRA XX Factor :: Index
I've been a member of both for years but sadly, both are currently nowhere near the quality of CBRXX.com. However, having UK contacts has to be good, especially for their annual Bash etc. If I remember correctly JAWS has a stake in Superblackbird and he's on it a lot, as well as his own business website.
Cheers,
Geoff
