Hi, I've just signed up for this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I've been reading the content here and found it interesting, funny, and in many cases helpful. Many moons ago I raced bicycles at a competitive level and always wanted to have a motorcycle. So, I waited until the ripe young age of 37 to start. Jumping in with both feet, I started with a Honda 919 followed less than a month later with a Ducati Monster s2r 1000. Now, I have recently purchased a 2008 CBR1000rr. I've always wanted to own bikes of this variety and am having a lot of fun.

What do I hope to get out of this forum? That's pretty simple I'd like to ask as many dumb questions as I can, and possibly add something worthwhile to someone where possible. I'm curious about the tech side of how bikes work and very concerned about safety as well. I do know that I have way too much horsepower in my CBR for someone who has only been riding motorcycles for a couple of months.... but I made my purchase after a mountain of research.... So, I hope to learn as much here as I can to keep things in perspective.

Looking forward to dialog with everyone here.
