Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce my self . I Love to ride. I try to get out whenever it isn't raining ( which unfortunatly isn't much thanks to the weather over here in Canada). I ride a 1988 cbr600f hurricane, converted with a 1998 f3 farring. I love this Bike . Which wasn't the case when I bought it, I could never keep up to all these new fuel injected , lighter bikes. Until I fixed her up , with new chain, sprockets and rebuilt carbs and OMG try to catch me . Now all my buddies, say that newer bikes have goveners so we can't go that fast . Lol . I'm proud of the work I've done and love every minute of it .

See you all on the road !!
Nik

 

hi nick

how's life up in Canada? here in belgium we got lots of rain and it sucks
it cool to meet people from aal over the globe!
i also try to ride whenever i don't have to work or when it isn't raining!
you should post some photo's of your bike when you got the time, would like to see it actually. i wonder if i will see you on the road because i live on the other side
but anyway drive safe and take care.

Ya no doubt don't see me riding in Belgium any time soon, you would think we coul buy visors with wipers lol. Good hearing from ya. I put some Pics up in the member gallery called " my bike restoration". I had a hard time uploading some and getting them in the right order but I got some up.

 

Hi and Welcome to a great site. Ride Safe

 

Welcome to the CBRF, Nik!
Wow, you did do a good bit of work to her! Looks really good, man. I can understand changing the color to black. I'm not a huge fan of "robin egg" blue.... LOL..

Anyway, good to have you here. If you have any questions (or answers...) check out the 600F section.
Ride safe, man!

 

Thank you ,, I agree I couldn't stand the colour . You can't see from the pics but it actually was robin egg blue, with metal flake( looked like glitter to me). But that's how I got it for $700 and at first I rode it anyway cause finally I was riding but last year I buggered my knee and couldn't ride so over the winter I went to work and fixed her up

 

Yeah Nik, welcome man , a little sprocket magic against those "i" bikes makes it all good......... good stuff

Enjoy the forum , Ride Safe

 

Chit, $700 is a steal. I woulda bought it if it was bright pink with hello kittys all over it....

 

...ehh may have talked em down to 650


Welcome to the forums!
I wanna see some pics!

NOW NOW NOW NOW~!

Ride safe buddy~
