Evening all!
I'm based in S.W London and this is my 1st time joining the HOC but this is my 3rd Honda I've owned. My 1st baby was a black CBR125R4 after I passed my CBT. Next after passing my DAS a year later, was my CBR600F2 in a proper retro 90's colour scheme (black with neon pink tiger stripes)! Unfortunately some idiot of a minicab driver went into the back of me and the insurance wrote my poor baby off due to the fairings being damaged all down one side. I did buy her back as she was a Cat C, replaced the badly damaged panel and gave her a fresh MOT but it just didn't feel right riding her anymore and was affecting my confidence massively....
So my other half kindly helped me to get my current bike, a gorgeous shiny new CB650F! I can't tell you how much better this bike is for me, she's helped my confidence no end where she's so lightweight and the riding position is simply perfect for me and my back. All 3 bikes I've personalised but this one has been my favourite so far!Â
I've also just came back last week from touring Europe over 3 days (6 countries, 3 days, 2 bikes!)
