Great site!!
Hello to all. I'm new on this site. Ok, here's the SKINNY!! I owned a '90 CBR 1000F about 15 years ago and loved it. I've always wanted another and found a '91 on e-Bay. I'm going to pick it up next weekend and I'm so excited. Are 42 years old men supposed to get excited about a bike? YES!!!!

^^^^^^^ Of course you are! There'd be no point otherwise and it'd be kind of unnatural 
I'm sure you'll enjoy your new ride.
Have you ridden at all in the last 15 years? If not take it easy on the way home, if you're riding her back

G'day and welcome!
I'm 44 and still get excited every time I get on my bike. Life'd suck if you had nothing to stir you up a bit. Take it a bit easy at first mate...at least for the first couple of rides.

Hey,I'm 50 and the old girl still gives me a heart rate boost on a regular basis. Enjoy; watch out for the people talking on cell phones,and don't forget to pass people at 200k every so often just because you can. Oh and always wear sunscreen; Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Another thought, when you pass people at 200 clicks make sure you snick into top gear just past them, just so they know they have been seriously passed. I always refer to it as "When you pass someone,they stay ****ing passed"

Sometimes you just can't stop yourself can you? Even tho' 120k would do a perfectly acceptable job of of passing them I see that rental car sticker in the rear window and the numbers get bigger.
Hello, welcome to NZ, you have just been passed.
