Default New to the forum

Just picked up a 1993 CBR 1000f and joined the forum. No mods planned at this time. Bike is all stock except for an exhaust and zero gravity wind screen. It's a blast to ride and real comfy. Bike has 18000 miles and was taken care of pretty well by the previous owner. I'm located in Long Island NY and ride pretty much with a select group of guys, one of them being Turbulenz (what ever that means ) from here.

Made a little walk around video so I'll post the link

We've heard about your bike b/f you got here by Turbulenz. ;-) Isn't that Turbulenz in the background trying to keep his face outta the vid? ;-) Anway, good to have you w/ us. :-)

Great looking bike you've got there. Keep it maintained & it'll last you near forever.

Settle in & enjoy.

Oh ok.

Yeah, that's the main thing I don't like about my GoPros, that the battery runs down seemingly very quickly.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, been lurking around the 1000f section and glad to see there's a pretty active following for the bike.

Gotcbr - I don't use my camera that much but I want to change that. There's not much fun to record when I'm on my cruiser but now with the CBR on the road I should get some fun footage.

74Demon - I wouldn't have voted for him anyway - you should see how this guy lives. He doesn't need any more things to feed his ego - Whatta life he leads

Well anyway thanks again guys and although I'm new to the CBR world I do have decent knowledge of bikes so I'm sure I'll be able to help out from time to time when needed..

Later

^ Uh oh Turbulenz, he's tellin' on you. ;-) J/k.

Re: GoPros... My orig GoPro w/ AA batteries tends to last longer then the GoProHD w/ the li-lon battery. Of course, the HD is better quality tho. ;-)
