Hi all, After 21 years On a Superbike I have decided to take the plunge into the more chilled world of classics. I sold my zx7r a few days ago , the main reason being I couldn't be bothered with the stress of the riding position, arm ache, constantly being wary of the speed I'm doing .. The list goes on, all this meant I had only been on it 3 times in a year, and coming from someone who only had a bike lisence for 16 of the 21 years of riding I knew it was time to explore the less frantic side of riding. Well it was a toss up between a cb400n and a cx500, the cx was a bit of a gamble how'ver the cb was in such lovely condition. I spoke to the seller who turned out to be one of the admin here and was very accommodating to boot (he ride it to my house!) Thanks again Carl. So yeah can't wait to get out on it, which should be tomorrow Its already been a learning curve, I knocked the off switch and had 2 hours of head scratching as to why it wasn't starting, and having a choke on a bike.... Madness

hi and welcome, I know what you mean about the superbikes (got an old zx9r tucked in the garage) you have to be in the right mood, the classics can be a little easier to just jump on and go have a tootle about
