Hello.
 

Hi all. Ive been a long time lurker of this forum so i finally decided to join and say hello & post something :icon_look:
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 :icon_wink:)

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 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...0/560/kj9x.jpg

Here's a few track day snaps: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/89/2ohi.jpg

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) :icon_google:

There's a lot to be said for an older bike that's kept nice and clean for so long. Survivor!

Welcome to the forum - NICE F3! I loved mine (although it wasn't near as nice as yours is).

Welcome Martin, nice bike.
I'm still loving my old school F2! :-D

Very cool! Welcome and it's kinda crazy to stop and think how long ago the 90s were.....

Welcome to the CBR Forum Martin,

And thanks for the series of pictures - they are fantastic!!

Track days are fantastic!

Cheers, SB

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.
