Hello from Mass
Hi,
I'm Rob Traina. I'm from central mass. I'm relatively new to street bikes, but have been riding other bikes for some while. I just bought a used 2001 f4i last summer. Here is a pic of my high millage POS
I bought it for relatively cheap and got a jacket and helmet along with it. I've been trying to remove the stickers for sometime. Over the winter I went through most of the up keep, oil, plugs etc. It could still use a new chain and sprockets tho.
If anyone has any preferred parts vendors to buy the parts from let me know.
Thanks,
Rob T

It's prettier than my beastie. There are few good sites around Bikebandit comes to mind.
Motorcycle Superstore, MrCyles, Premier Cycle Accessories and J&P Cycles are in my book-marks, as well.
Anything to do with bearings...AllBalls Racing is the one to go to.
If you've got an eye and know what you're looking at e-bay and craiglist are a good
resource.
Don't forget your local dealer. I get pretty much a 10% discount on anything
I buy, because I got to know them. Started showing them some of my pricing research
on the net and let them have a chance to match. Sometimes they can, sometimes not.
But they appreciated that I try to keep my dollars local. I like the idea of running
down at 4:55 on a Saturday, and getting that doomafloggie I have to have or no joy
on that Saturday night ride, I was planning. Even over-nighted can't give you that kind
of service. ;-)
