Frenchie newbie says hi
« on: December 12, 2021, 11:16:15 PM »
Hi!

Name's Alex I'm a 28 y/o guy living in Le Mans France. I'm the happy owner of a capricious CB400F that has been more in the garage than on the road since I got it in 2018. Love it though!

I'm here to discuss anything motorcycle related, though for now it'll mainly be mechanical questions I think haha.

Glad to be part of this community!

Cheers everyone  ;)

Thanks to you all for your welcome!

Double thanks to Alan for leading me here  ;)

Yes I have been lurking a bit yesterday and I can feel it's gonna be a good place. Hard to find people relating to the struggle it is to get a bike back into shape.

Nurse Julie, I actually ordered a set of new o rings for the carbs just today haha, what a small world!

Take care y'all and see you round in the posts  8)
