HELLOOO!! I'm Chet and I've been lurking here long enough to love you guys already! I picked up a nice pre-crashed 98 F3 for 400 bucks, and have spent about that much on eBay already. She's street-able now, although a little ugly at the moment, and so much fun. This is my first street-only bike, but I've had dirt and enduro bikes since I was 3yrs old. This site, and everyone here, has been a plethora of knowledge, and I wouldn't be riding now without you, so THANK YOU!!!

 

Welcome to the CBRF, Chet!
Heck, $800 for a rideable F3 is a beautiful thing, man! Glad you like the site, and look forward to seeing you around.
Take care and Ride Safe!!

 

Welcome, from a fellow Forum newb!

At first I thought this was my intro post into the new member section, and was all wtf? :lol:

 

Welcome to the site CHet,glad to hear we've helped you out
Keep us updated on the F3 rebuild and dont forget to post some pics

 

Here's what I started with. Carefully notice my custom motorcycle lift I used while pulling the forks and rebuilding the carbs. Two camouflage and one yellow ratcheting tie down hanging from the rafters. Ghetto I know, but I didn't really have any damage to worry about if it fell. It had already been flung into a tree at high speed. I'll post more pics as I go along!
