My name is Noel. I am 31 years old. I have been around bikes since I was 17. All my friends owned them. I didn't get my license until this year, I did do the MSF course, along with my wife. I currently live in Houston, but grew up in the North East. My 1st bike was an 06 Suzuki GS500F. I bought my wife a brand new 2010 FZ6R.



Me, I purchased a mint, 2002 CBR 954RR. It was immaculate except for the previous owner removing all the OEM decals. I was planning on getting all the OEM decals back on it, but my wife works at an autobody shop. Her boss offered to paint my bike any color I wanted, for a good price. Here it is:

It went from this:

to this:

to this:





The color is a Lexus paint, called Starfire Pearl. I have added some decals I ordered, haven't taken good pics with them yet. Just the Honda wing and some other things. I plan on polishing the wheel lips, and leaving the spokes black. Anyway, she's done(the hardest part atleast).

Welcome aboard Noel!

Thanks for all the pics! Great looking bikes. Your paint came out really well.

Kudos to you & your wife for taking the MSF Course. Great that you can ride together.

Btw, I like the old RX7 in the garage too.
