Hello.
Hi all. Ive been a long time lurker of this forum so i finally decided to join and say hello & post something 
My name is Martin.. im from Salford,England.. Im 32, been riding about 10 years... spent a few years as a daily commute rider, riding in wind rain snow ect. Now I find myself riding on the road a lot less as i prefer to just do trackdays (Safest way to release your inner demon without getting arrested
)
Ive owned my p reg Cbr600 f3 for just over a year.. I got it cheap as a none runner as it had been stored in a garage for over 7 years.. didn't take much to get it running. Had to replace the carb seals as they had petrified and the tank had petrol in which had rusted through so that had to be replaced..the previous owner had done a few "low speed" lowsides on it i recon..but apart from a few scuffs its condition is excellent considering it is 17 years old!
Here's my bike
Here's Me
Here's a few track day snaps:
Me and my mates love nothing more than keeping it real and rocking up to trackdays with our collection of 90s sportsbikes and keeping up with all the shiny new uber expensive bikes..... (i know the white cbr600rr is the odd one out in this pic as its only 10 years old)

Thats a sick find. ZMan I wish I could find one that was put away for that long. Although mine was put away for over 4 years so I can relate. I had to do the same thing with the tank! Im sure the F3 does just fine keeping up, because lets be real, the F3 was a turning point for bikes. Welcome bro and hope you enjoy it.
