Post subject: | Newbie saying hi... |
Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Pete from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex (yes an Essex boy...... well I say boy, I still consider myself one but my DOB would suggest other wise! ![]() I recently bought an 05 XB12S Lightning from a mate at work who treated it like his first-born, so I was well chuffed when he told me he was selling it and I happened to be able to buy it. I hadn't ridden for nearly 3 years and my last (and only) bike was a CBR6 so as you can imagine it's been a 'bit' of a change in riding style but I love it. Anyhoo I just wanted to say hi, I've seen a couple of threads I'd like to ask more about and thought it only polite to pop my head in the door first. Cheers Pete |

Pete, as Pils says there are several of us around here. I have an XB12Ss Lightning Long and so too does my pal about a mile from me. I am in North Shoebury so not far from you. I also have a mate in Bishop's Stortford with an XB12Ss and we meet up from time to time for a run. pm me if you want to pop round for a coffee and compare bikes. |

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and it's good to hear there are some of you local to me. I would deffo be up for a meet, maybe when it's not pi55ing it down tho eh? I must admit it's a totally different animal to what I'm used to and finding it a challenge at low speeds. I did post on this thread viewtopic.php?f=17&t=13802 and got some great info that may help. I'm not at all confident in the wet at the mo but am really enjoying riding again. I think mostly it's that I haven't ridden for a few years (was never that fast anyhoo) and so am 50p-ing roundabouts ATM! LOL Thanks John, I'll deffo pop round at some point, got a lot on at present but will sort something out. Oh on another note I'm not getting any notifications of posts on this thread (or the other one I mentioned) what do I need to change? Thanks Pete |
