Hey guys and gals. I'm Vinnie (aka Vinman). Just purchased my first Sportbike, 1995 CBR 900RR. I have been a Import Car enthusiast for 15+yrs now. I have wanted a early 90's 900rr since they came out. Last time I rode a bike (YZF600) was 20yrs ago. I plan on taking riders course in next couple weeks. I will be honest and say its going to sit in my living room quite a bit. It will be ridin 500 miles plus a year. I hope to learn alot from here and one day give the knowledge back. Thanks.. V

 

Welcome to the forum Vinnie.
500 miles a year ain't very much... You will learn a lot if you read a lot. Glad to hear you want to give back.
Where are you located? Perhaps some other members in your area can push you to ride a bit more.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I'm 20 miles west of Atlanta, Ga. My bike will be here in 3 weeks. Just in time for winter. I will ride it but hopefully not alot. I bet I get the fever as soon as it warms up. I got it as more of a collectors Item for me. It will be a nice addition next to my 20 yr old import, which gets driven about 1000 miles a year to car shows.

 

How many post do I need before I can post pics?
I wanted to put one of my bike in the gallery section and it says I don't have permission. Thanks Vinman

Welcome aboard Vinnie. Glad you found us & joined up.

Congrats on getting your new to you bike as well.

Kudos for planning to take the safety course. Any responsible rider here will recommend it. I grew up riding dirt & motocross b/f street. I had quite a bit of experience under my belt b/f I took the MSF but it proved invaluable to honing skills & reinforcing safety techniques.

 

Thanks for the welcome...Just got Motorcycle permit today.. Safty course is next just don't know when. Either during winter or just after. I dont plan to ride in winter. So I may tackle the frame polishing job.

bike pic...
I looked for 3-4 months before I found the one I wanted. Thankfully the seller worked with me and let me pay for it in 2 payments...Coming next weekend..Can't wait.

 

Welcome.. Lucky for you that you still have a riding season ahead of you!

 

Congrats on getting you permit!

Great looking bike too. :-)
