JustaPor Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hi guys! I'm Dany (aka JustaPor) and haven't been active in a forum for more than a decade I found this place thanks to @Pedro when he shared the link of his Morocco trip report. I bought a brand new 2022 CB500F (picture attached) last November. I'm currently waiting on @Pedro and @Sofia's latest ride report! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hi Dany, welcome in, I'm sur Pedro's has warned you about some of us. ( it's all true...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaPor Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Thank you all for your warm welcoming messages. Just a few more details about myself and the Bike : I'm a noob (and slow) rider despite having the motorcycle driver's license for more than 20 years. The CB500F is my first bike. I bought it with the comfort pack (which includes the Smoked Windscreen, Heated Grips and the 12v Accessory Socket), a pair of Barracuda sliders and added a Puig tank pad that I bought before having the bike. I let it fall while practising slow speed maneuvers and broke the brake lever, so replaced the stock levers by some Puig folding ones. It has now around 5500 km (3415 miles) and it has been great and I enjoy every second I'm on it. As @Pedro said, I commute to work on it (about 50km per day) and ride a bit further on Sundays (when the weather isn't too bad). I haven't done any long trip on it yet, but it will be done someday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 A tip for you. If you happen to go to Spain don't venture into any abandoned buildings as there may be a mangy ginger person hiding in wait ........... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
