Hi All from Canberra (Australia)
Have signed up for my first Honda today (and will pick it up on Tuesday) - '03 CBR 954 RR Fireblade (happy happy joy joy!) It's my first move into a Honda, have had Kwaka's and a Suzuki GSX750R , and even a Harley (what a tank!), but this is my firt time back into riding for about 2 1/2 years, and my test ride sold me.

I think I attached a photo (but I'm not sure), but glad to part of your group.

Ciao

Sly

Ease back into riding after that kind of break.....did the same thing myself and took me quite a while to get back into a position where I was happy with my riding.

Re: Hi All from Canberra (Australia)
Hi Matt (and others),

Thanks for the welcome - great to see replies from Melbourne. I can't wait to start hiting the open road, and doing some of those slightly longer trips.

You're right of course, it'll take a while to get into the flow. In fact, I had my heart set on a Hayabusa, but I took a GSX1000R out for a run before the blade, and had a heart attack! That thing was scarry, but altough the Blade had a heap of power as well, it just felt a lot more stable. It definitely won my vote (although I'd still like a Busa.)

Sly

If you get down this way these should give you plenty of options for heading off on a ride.
