Hi all.

As the title suggests im a newbie rider/Cat owner, been cutting my teeth on a Bandit 600 (now for sale) for around 6 months now and decided I wanted something faired and a little sportier for my next bike.
After a lot of research I decided on a Cat!! A good choice im sure you will agree!!
Picked her up a week ago now, and other than minimal tidying she is very clean, mileage (26K) is good and I got her for a steal!!
This leaves me rather content indeed!!
Here's a few pics

Newbie Here!! Mycat

Well thats all for now folks, im sure I will be posting a lot, probably something along the lines of ''how do I?'' etc etc.

How come you're one short of a high 5?

Welcome to the site anyhoos.
Nice bike matey.......those colours are quite rare now methinks.

I too went from a bandit 600 to the thundercat.

I didn't expect the Thundercat to be SOOOO GOOD compared to the bandit but it was.

Cheers

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Well since you ask, the High 4 is because I actually cut a bit of my middle finger on one hand off when I was a bit younger, so as you can imagine it has turned into a running joke with mates.

Yeah have to agree, im still loving having some fairing protection to be honest, makes those longer/faster rides so much more comfortable.

I kinda thought that might be case......I only open my mouth to change feet though. wall

A good friend of mine in your predicament thoroughly enjoys freaking kids out with his 'party' tricks.

100% true story ...... I managed to chop a couple of mm off my middle finger when I argued with a door at high school. Having a nickname of High 4.95 just isn't the same though.

On the plus side I guess you can flip people the bird link
