Default Got a Smokin' Joes F3 yesteday

Today I scored a CBR 600F3 Smoking Joes Edition which was Miguel Duhamels' endorsed/sig bike. I've loved the color scheme on them since I started biking and I found one in near mint condish for a steal of a price. Only drawback was to drive 95 miles to pick it up and ride 95 miles back home.

Here are some pics the seller took. I'll take some tomorrow as the sun has already set here in LA.

Initial impressions - wow. I love it. So smooth and powerful. No issues with suspension and no shakes on the freeway. The larger tires and the great suspension just rock. So much better than my old ninja 250 - although I think I'm a lot better rider cuz of the 250.

Wooohoooo

That is one ugly bike!! You need to rid yourself of it now! Send it to me or better yet, I've save you the shipping cost. Give me your address and I'll hop on a bus and take it off your hands. You don't want to be caught riding that thing. YUK!

Its pretty damn close. I just put some sea foam in the tank to get some of the gunk out of the carbs.
