Default Hello, new here

Hello everyone, I'm Paden. New guy here from Richmond, Va.
Thanks to a slick spot in a turn my Aprilia Mille R is now in the grave.
Picking up an 01 CBR 929rr in the next week(once the insurance co's check arrives, etc).

Welcome to the forum.

Hope the 929rr works out for you. It's a great bike! Sorry to hear about your Aprilia. Glad you survived...

What's the details on the blade? What color, miles, mods, anything? Get up a pic or two.

Welcome to the CBR Forum,

Congratulations on the new CBR and sorry to hear of the demise of the Aprilia. Glad you are unscathed.

Black and yellow, 20k miles. 1 owner, has been babied.
Has a Two Brother's slip on, yellow wind screen, cf rear tire hugger and cf upper fender brace(thin one above the side fairing).
Going to do a gp shift conversion, new levers, and a smoked windscreen for starters.

And thanks for the sentiments on my survival. I was glad to walk away with just a few bumps and bruises.

Get a steering damper too. It will make the front more stable in hard turns.

Definitely. I had an Ohlins on my Aprilia. Any suggestion for the CBR?
