    Hi there,

    Since a lot of interesting discussions are going on at this forum, I decided to join too.
    Recently I bought a new 2010 black/white CBR1000rr which is currently completely in stock trim (except for the Ventureshield stickers).
    I drove a CBR929rr (which I still own) for 10 years so I thought it was time for a new toy...

    Hi Wrench and welcome to the forum. "Interesting discussions" must be a Dutch phrase for "load of bollocks", I'm imagining.

    Tot Ziens.

    Although sport bikes don't sell very well lately (as seen worldwide), the bike scene is OK over here... and as you might know we have 2 nice events every year: the WSBK and MotoGP in Assen.

    I agree, but the order of my preference is a little different...;)
    Right now I'm living the American dream :cool: (I'm there for work/vacation).

    Windmills, cheese, bikes and weed I can understand Giv', but in what Manc universe can you describe clogs and tulips as "living the dream" ya big northern jessie

    I've a penchant for getting Amsterdamaged myself.

    Cannot make pictures right now (9000 km distance between me and the bike), so I can only show a selling picture of the bike... Wrench-nl.jpg

    Hello and welcome wrench, I spent sometime in NL working and I'd go back tomorrow if I was asked, loved the place. Nice looking bike by the way. :cool:
