Gidday Peoples, I'm Jase from SA Australia. I'm....er, 50 ish...
I recently had a simple spill on my 99 VTR1000 that left me with 8 broken ribs ( some broken in multiple places )
and a fractured Scapula ( shoulder Blade ). I rolled the wounded VTR into my garage and the moment the missus took one look at me, she went
ballistic. It was at this moment I realised that at 165 cms and 70 kgs wringing wet, the VTR was just way too heavy for me...I needed something smaller with just as much *****.
So, to cut a long story short I decided to swap my VTR for 2 CBR 600's....First being a 1995 F2, and the second being a 1998 F3.
The F3 has about 70,000 kms on the clock if the odo is original. It runs and rides like a new bike, whilst the F2 is a project bike.
In my state, my bike will need to be inspected by the Road Transport Authority for rego so Im now in the painful process of going over my F3 to replace anything that may be picked on. (I say painful on account of the injuries ).
I'm thinking along the lines of rebuilding the F2 into a naked sports bike. Still not sure.

Anyways, Good to be here and I look forward to getting to know all of you at some stage or another.
Cheers.....
