Welcome! Hope the back gets better. Definetly, start lifting with your legs! lol

New to the sport? First street bike? Cruise the new member section for a lot of
good practise drills, tips and hints on staying alive and learning to ride.

For the older bikes, there are some good threads on new-owner maintenance,
mechnical check-lists to assure your beastie is sound, safe and performing at
it's full potential. Check the how-to's, general tech and the specific F4i forums.
To learn and/or contribute.

Grats and welcome, Ern

Yep, they're heavy! ;-) Welcome aboard Mike!

Kudos on your planning to do the safety course! Do you have all of your protective gear?

Just post the pics online (Photobucket) and then use the IMG button above (Little yellow square w/ mountain and sun) and paste your link, click ok and voila. Easy as cake.
