Welcome to the CBRF, fireman!
Congrats on the new bike, I'm sure you'll love it. The F3 is a great bike, and there are plenty of F3 riders on this site to chat with or exchange advice.

I hear ya on the weather thing. I'm getting restless, too. It's actually kinda nice today in south PA.... I think I'm gonna brave it and try to get a ride in.

Greenup, Sandy Hook, Louisa, Ky....and that's just naming a few. Shoot a PM if when you're ready for some great rides.
