Default Hey

How are Yall?

Im glad to see your site is thriving.

I'm 30 years old and bought my first bike Jan. last year. For $1200 I became the proud owner of a 96' CBRF3. Stuck a back tire on it and put 3000 miles on it by June. My wife and I made it to deals gap in march which is a hell of a place to learn especially two up hehe. We hauled ***, stayed safe and had tons of fun. I am proud to say that in a year I/we have burnt up the rear tire to the wear marks AND ITS STILL ROUND(going strait sucks.)

Now here is the disheartening part of the story. When we got back from the gap and checked out our pics we realized it doesn't matter how low you get for a pic, you cant make a yellow and purple cbr cool! We are going back to the gap April 5- and I plan on finding suitable red plastic and or plastic that is worth painting.

Look forward to seeing yall on the road

Welcome to the forum Bill.

Have you tried shooting in B/W to make the bike look better? LOL. At least Photoshop it to grey scale...
A girl in a bikini next to it would help too! Nobody would even see the bike.

Some like that color, some don't. Good luck making it yours.

Thanks for the replies! Made my first help post today concerning the allusive throttle cable design on the F3. Hopefully I saved someone a few hours!
