Hey from Cornwall

Post by CurtisTheKipper »

Hi guys,

Thought I'd join up in time for summer.

I ride a 1988 CBR600 which I picked up for the bargain price of 300 pounds with 12 months mot!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi Curtis

Crikey, 300 quid?! I thought I was pretty good at haggling! Looking for a CBR600 at the mo - as late a model as I can find (up to 2006). Stick a 0 onto the price you paid! Even if it’s an early ‘Hurricane’ ‘jellymould’ model you’ve got, they seem to be going up in price.

Honda's seem to hold their value. The cbr range have a reputation for going on and on.

Be interesting to see some pics of them.

Welcome to SWB Curtis. Plenty rideouts happen here so don't waste what's left of the summer before you join in. If you want to see who a lot of the regular rideout bods are, this will be a good one to join in with: https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102281 - probably a couple others happening before that too so keep checking in.
