Love the colour scheme.... I'm half way through restoring a 93 CBR1000F. A guy bought it to New Zealand from Australia and gave up on it. Hoping to have her ready by the start of our summer down here, around November. Take care and stay upright... (in reply to bluebeard) Post #: 3

I am a new rider as of last year and this forum has been extremely helpful. I learned about countersteering reading a post by Mikekop (thanks!)  http://www.cbrforum.com/m_331942/tm.htm  I had a hard time computing it in my mind, then I tried it and it clicked. Its Huge and every rider should be aware, it has saved my a_se a couple times. Good stuff! Chris (in reply to Juliet) Post #: 4

Whether you would beat a good rider on my '87 is another question entirely. Welcome. Oh, I'll post pics of my bike as soon as I get the new windshield on it. I had it painted a beautiful blue and have new pipes on it as well. I love it. (in reply to Shadow1) Post #: 14
