Hi folks,

I have a couple of months off of work, so I've got time to get my my 93 CBR900RR up and running. She has been sitting in the garage since 2011. I needed a new hip and gave up riding. I got a new hip last year but haven't had the time to spend with the bike. I also have a 94 600 F2 that was my daily ride so she's in pretty rough shape. They both have been sitting since 2011. The 93 was my dream bike and I found her in 2001. I used to lurk here a lot but quit once I stopped riding. I'm happy it's still around.

Welcome back. Time to get back on a bike ?

 

welcome and hi nice to be back on the bike

 

Welcome! Glad to hear you are still motivated to ride!

Seems like so many are almost looking for a reason to quit riding so it's nice to hear from someone wanting to continue through that type of adversity!

 

I think so Wes. My bikes\life took a backseat when my daughter was born in '98. I had been riding since 1985 and didn't own a car. I got a new job with a company vehicle and started riding less and less. Then my hip started huring too much to lift over the bike and they kinda stayed parked in the garage for the most part. I tried to take them out to keep the juices flowing (theirs and mine) but dead batteries and old gas got the better of me. They have been sitting since 2011 and it really hurt me to see them like that in the garage. My daughter is in college, and I just got furloughed till June from my job, so I have new priorities! If you were just wondering about my hip, it's totally great! I shouldn't have waited so long to get it fixed.

Thanks, it will be once I get them in shape!

Yes Sir! It feels like a part of who I am has been missing without riding bikes.
