Hey everyone,
Im new to motorcycles so I will be asking tons of annoying questions, but I will do my best to keep it a minimum. I have a 95 CBR600F3 in white purple and yellow and its pretty much all stock. This summer is my chance to turn it into a real bike. I live in San Fran and am going to school to become a EMT and eventually a paramedic.

Welcome aboard the CBRForum.

Congrats on your F3. Sounds like you've got some big plans for it. Please post pics of it when you get a chance.

If you haven't checked into it yet, I recommend the MSF Course for new riders. Its very beneficial in learning techniques & safety, & provides a good start for you to build on what you've learned w/ practice.

This world needs as many EMTs & Paramedics it can get! I applaud your choice of profession.

Again, welcome to the forum.

Grats and welcome! I assume as a budding EMT, you know the possibilitys of screwing up. So definetly check up on the advice on skill-sets, mental and physical, needed to be safe and have fun.

Here is a REALLY good intro into the sport.....Motorcycle Info and Accessories

Also check in the new member section for our own humble threads on the subject.

Good luck and post some pics of your beastie.

I am just about to order a new left cowling in red for my bike so i can remount my left mirror and put my new double bubble windscreen on. Im not going for looks but im probably gonna buy a 2nd hand two brothers pipe for 50 bucks and get a stage one jet kit. I dont need anything too major

I think i did the msf class to get my Ls
