Default Picked up my bike today!!!

Hey guys,

So after looking since last year, I finally got my first bike The drive was horrid, I got home about 30min ago and it is currently 25 degrees outside. To make things worse it was a 45 minute drive and my left wrist had a bone graph 2 months ago and two screws put into it...pretty sore right now. Im pretty stoked I waited until spring because in the fall I was looking at enduro's (not enough cash at the time) and I am now the proud owner of a 97' CBR F3. Cannot wait until all the snow/salt is off the roads kinda live in the boonies here in wisconsin...ill post pictures once I figure out how to do it tried dragging images into the message box and that did not work :/

-Trevin

Congrats, Trevin, good stuff. But... let that frickin' wrist heal, man!

I remember bringing my KLR home from the dealer. It was a 70 mile interstate ride in pouring down rain. It was only 43F, but it felt like -200 with the wind. Completely miserable. I could barely get off the bike when I got home because I was stiff as a board and my boots were full of water. lol...

Last time I went out riding in 25F, I had planned to stop at work to make some coffee and warm up, but after 40 miles, I realized that I left my work keys at home.

Anyway, welcome to the site and I hope your hurt wrist wasn't the "good" one.

Welcome man!! Join Photobucket (free!!) host your pics there then just copy the source [IMG] tag and then we can all see them. Quite easy really.

Thanks guys. Underground, the pics I put up were from the craigslist posting so thats the previous owners subie. I had a 03' WRX that was sonic yellow and had leather interior...try to find a wrx/sti that has stock leather interior its pretty hard, unfortunately I wrecked it. Just took these pics the other day after I gotta car wash


My civics barley taller then my bike hahaha
