Default New Guy from So. Cal

Hey guys, just picked up a 98 F3 with 4,200 on the chassis and only 2k on the motor. Runs like a bat out of hell, and I love it.

I have been riding for 18 years now (7 on the street) and coming from all kinds of different bikes, I have to say that this bike (though small) is pretty nice..

And Hi

Thanks a lot guys.. That is a bunch of useful info.
I have to say, the whole being able to ride EVERY DAY is kinda nice, but it starts feeling like a chore after a while. That is why I have more than one bike though, when you get tired of going fast, just hop on the cruiser... I do enjoy the California sun, but it is sort of getting out of control here, too many rules and regulations, smog checks, turn signal spacing guidelines, lic plate placement, etc. Whole lot of garbage comes with the sunshine and sand.

As soon as school is done with and my career is on a steady path I'm moving down south, probably Georgia or Tennessee. Less riding, but less B.S. too.
