It has been such a good month for me that I can't help but be excited. I'll be collecting my first bike in 2 weeks, a '92 CBR 600 F2, and I can't wait to ride it. I've riden bikes that belonged to relatives and friends and it is about time that I got one for myself. I've tried to upload the pics I have of my diamond in the rough but they're too big so I'll post them up later. So I just wanted to say HOWDY! and hope to see ya'll around.

Honestly folks, I forgot I had an account here until yesterday.
The past year or so after getting my bike has been filled with trials and tribulation. Been unemployed over 3 months now and I'm getting no bites. I've been looking for things to do and there isn't really a whole lot I can do without spending money. So I decided to finish up my story on here.
This is what the bike looked like before I brought her home; note the pile of beaten up F3 plastics in the background. I should have known that was a sign!!



Another pic



This is after getting some of the CORRECT fairings, except for the RT side F3 cowl.





Since that point I had serious electrical problems; R/R, wires and connectors. Cleaned the carbs, and when I took the tank off I found that the upper cleaner housing was missing. (Gee, more parts to acquire!!!)

I broke down and did a quick paint job so that all of the fairings were the same color, the ones that I've been keeping on the bike. But I noticed something when I was fitting the parts was that I had to shake my head a couple of times 'cuz I saw this.





So at some time I need to figure out how I'm going to correct that...
Well as of now it won't look too bastard-like while I'm riding it.





I also found out that I need to get me an APE CCT, because DAAAAAAAAYUM!!! I thought I was about to be struck by a rattlesnake when that chain started rattling at me. 8-0

Well the list is piling up because I went to check the oil level in my forks and the right one isn't at a level that I could read. So new seals and wipers are added to the check list.
