Default Hello from TN

Hey urbody.
Long time lurker and have been posting on Fireblades.org for sometime now as well, under the same SN.
I purchased a 2002 CBR954RR back in August.
I thought I had pictures of it here on my work PC but I do not. I will post them when I get home.

Well it's a sporadic one scattered over many years. I first started with mini-bikes back in the early 80s.
I also had an '86 Kawi KE100, an '89 EX500 and now the 954.
There were several years between the 500 and the 954 but I had ridden one of my friends' ZX-6s and my next door neighbors' R1.
Honestly, the biggest reason I got a bigger bore bike was due to their low end grunt. I knew I'd be riding through town occasionally and wanted something that would put around when I needed it to w/o having to keep the revs up.
I had considered a 2000 Aprilia RSV Mille, an RC-51, a 929 and a GSXR 750. I'm glad I wound up with the 954. It is a stellar bike.

Yep, the 954 is a great bike indeed. :-)

You had some good bikes in consideration.

I know, but Tennessee is a big place. I have friends that are near Knoxville...

Guess I should have phrased it, where in Tennessee are you? Lol

DOH! Forgot to put my location in the UCP.

I live just SE of Nashville; Antioch exactly, for the folks that are familiar Nashville/Davidson county.
