Hey guys, name here is Steve. I am from the Mojave Desert in California, a small town called Ridgecrest. I've been checking out the forum since I've come across a '88 CBR1000F. It has a starting issue and a coolant leak issue but I think that's not really too bad considering a price of $950. Anyway, I'll be checking her out on Saturday and probably bringing her home as well that day. I'm also currently the owner of a Harley Ultra Classic that I will hopefully be getting rid of soon. Just can't justify the cost of ownership anymore.

Anyways, glad to have found this place.

Last name is Burns too! I imagine there's probably a few of those across the pond. Great grandparents are from the UK.

I don't foresee it being hard to give up the heavy Harley. I would foresee it being difficult to give up a Goldwing. Anyways, only 22 hours until I see that lovely girl.
