So I'm not quite new to the site, but I figure I post again since I finally got a bike . I started riding back in 02 on a katana that served me well for a few years then took a break from riding and now back in the saddle. I was a fortunate lucky bastard to have gotten a great bike from a fellow rider from another forum. I'm taking it EZ for a bit til I get back into my comfort zone. So I'm open to go riding with any new rider or anyone with a good head on their shoulder. Would love to eventually do some track days in the future.

So...weighing in at 430ish lbs, riding out of Bellflower, CA 90706, with a mileage of 40k on the odo: its a Yellow/Black 02 Honda CBR F4i





And loaded with the following goodies since it was set up for track as well: ohlins fork springs and penske rear shock for 180lbs rider, DID 520 chain +3 rear, scott''''s damper, crg levers, gixxer radial master cylinder, woodcraft rearsets, vortex clip ons, new BT012 in the rear (about 500 miles max, if even that), almost new in the front (1K miles), akra evo ti full system with custom dyno''''d map/PC3, O2 sensor eliminator, black tail (instead of yellow).

So hopefully I can get Insurance and title documentation sorted by the weekend and hopefully I'll be riding with some of you in the near future.

Woohoo GOOFAIs for life.

Nice bike. For a second I thought you were introducing yourself at 430 lbs.

Ease back into it. That muscle memory may need some cobwebs removed.
