Another new Kentish owner

Postby JayB » Wed Jun 05, 2013 10:39 am

Hello everyone, I just stumbled upon the site and the forum, so decided to join to gain some knowledge and pick your brains when needed.

I'm 37, been riding on and off since I was 11. Had my licence since 2003, had a break for a couple of years, now been riding / owned a bike continuously since 2007.

The 'Bird is my 5th Honda and 14th bike in that time :P Had this that and the other, but no Suzukis and no Ducatis.

My bike is a 2002 Fi model which has had 2 owners, 1 for a year, then another for the past 10 years. It's Black but I think she's had a spill at some point in the past and been painted, so it's not perfect and I think it has the wrong screen for a 2002 model, but it is straight. It's done 30odd K miles, and rides great.

I've not yet had it 2 weeks, rode it home about 200 miles and since then not put much more than 80-100 miles on her, but I've spent plenty of time checking it over and sorting little niggles out. I've done some advised bits and pieces too... fitted a new CCT (£ ouch) and a 6mm spacer in the rear, flushed the mud and crap out of the front of the rad and found a loose main earth under the 2 rear tank bolts.

Looking forward to chatting and maybe meeting some of you guys. Jay.
