New(ish) to biking

I hate doing introduction threads, but I have just picked up a 2013 Fireblade 20th anniversary.

Its my second bike, first being a 125 enduro, so its a bit of a change. I have only been riding for about a year too, having always driven cars, I have an Astra turbo, and a BMW 750 V8

Thats it really, I have only emptied one tank on it so far, so im still getting used to it, im sure ill come up with more questions pretty soon

 

Welcome blink, have fun mate but take it easy .

 

im mr very very slow, so dont worry about that

 

Hello and welcome blink. Bit of a jump from a 125 I did the same , went from a 125 to a 918 Blade but with a 19 year gap

 

oh, and im gay too Brad!

 

welcome blink, buy a copy of twist of the wrist, get it of ebay for cheap, best £15 you'll spend mate

 

im making up for lost time

 

thanks, ill check that out

 

@bradt you'll have to change your signature now Brad

 

Nah I'm keeping it as the first on the site but blink can certainly add a appropriate signature
You think Nigelrb will be able to cope with 2 gays on the forum ?

 

Double welcome then blink

 

to be honest, its nice not being the only gay person on a car/bike forum

 

double thanks

 

Blink I've never had any issues with any of the people on here, it's a great forum.

 

never had any issues anywhere, but its nice to know

I tell a lie, there was some arse on a US BMW forum who was, well, an arse.

 

Hi & welcome Blink

 

Welcome @blink get some pics of the bike up and as others have said a blade is a very easy ride but be careful as giving it a fistful could prove an eye opener.

 

Hi, and welcome blink. I hope you won't be one of those 'One blink and they're gone' members!

But tell us: 'How the frig have you used one tank of petrol with all the recent crap weather?'

I can cope with gays anywhere, just as I can cope with cross-dressers, transgenders, and lovers of latex dolls. No one really understands that I really am a down-to-earth, with-it kind of guy. If I were not so engrossed in following those Kardashian gals on Instagram, I probably be getting out my old Liberace CDs and Rock Hudson cinema reels.

 

i like to think im not a stereotypical gay man, but i can say i have a dislike of latex

one thing thats puzzling me, on the honda paperwork, its down as a CBR1000RRC, whats that all about?

oh, and one tank took me to monsal head, chesterfield chatsworth - about four hours, and today, it took me the long way to sheffield, about two hours. the fuel light came on a couple of miles from home
