Default I'm the new guy

for now at least. Picked up a 1994 CBR600 today and rode it around all afternoon. The thing is a BLAST. My first bike too.

I'll be taking pictures a little later, just wanted to say hi!

I'm in West Central Indiana, a crappy little town called Terre Haute. Its a purple/red/black bike with a header-back and jet kit on it. For some reason the brand name of the exhaust escapes me for the moment.... starts with a k... kicker... kecker.... fawk. I must be getting old! I would have taken pictures by now but I've been too busy riding it whenever possible.

Got to experience my first rainstorm on it last night, I think the wind was more daunting than that rain itself. But I took it very easy and made it home without incident so that's OK. You can't learn without experience right?

By the way, the name is Ben, there are enough of us in the world that I don't mind using my fist name on the interwebs. Heh. Maybe pics tonight since its supposed to start raining around seven and storm for the next 3 days straight.

Hey there Coldfire, congratulations on your new bike. Small world... I used to drive semis and went to Terre Haute IN once. Picked up some disarmed 1000 lbs. munitions from the naval station out there, took them up to US Steel up in Gary. Indiana is so nice during the summer. Make sure you wear some gear & take it easy.

Hahaha, yeah when school is in session there are some pretty good looking girls out and about. During the summer season though, not so much. But yeah if you ever feel like passing through let me know and we'll get together.

Welcome to CBRF
I actually work across the street from the Naval depot here. I do need to get some gear for the bike but its supposed to rain for the next three days, though I got up this morning and it was just beautiful, so I'm staying on 4 wheels for a little bit.
