My names Skip, I'm new to the site as well as the houston area. I ride a 2001 cbr600f4i, and have been riding about 3 weeks outside of just tooling around the neighborhood on the bike.

Before I moved here I previously lived in los angeles, and before that florida.





Before I started riding, I used to drive professionally, till I got in a wreck in a sponsor vehicle.

Hopefully I'll fit in here

 

Welcome Skip, this is an amazing forum full of great people. Hope you got better gear than that hat and your puma's Nice Bike BTW

 

Howdy Skip! From Houston originally myself.

Aye, you'll fit in just fine with a lil more gear on ya

 

that was the day the bike got dropped off and while i was just dickin around the apartment complex's parking lot.

Sadly i lost that hat on the way to a gas station a block down the rode

i have since acquired a fulmer helmet, leather jacket ( i gotta get something better than it tho), gloves, and boots. cant find neutral in anything other than the pumas tho :-/

Now i just need the new crankcase cover, and ill be back riding.

Thanks a bunch for the welcomes and bike compliments

 

Hmm... Then maybe try Puma motorcycle boots and shoes

I wear a pair of riding 'shoes' myself. Not full Halo extra / Power Ranger Standin motorcycle boots. Don't have any trouble finding the gears and more protective than sneakers.

 

when i get the money ill probably pick up some puma riding shoes.

i got time since i cant ride the bike atm. dropped her in the parking lot at work so i wouldn't run over a kitten while making a uturn on the inclined portion of the lot :-/ luckily the only damage was a crack to the crankcase cover and a shattered mirror .... that kitten better thank me later

 

LOL welcome to the site. I'm on the South East side of H-town.

 

im pretty much right outside the gunspoint area in north houston. I constantly keep the bike locked to my porsche that has a blown engine since i know thats not going anywhere.

good to know theres someone around here that knows whats up though.

 

Hi & welcome to the site Skip!
If U have any ?s on your new bike check out the F4i forum,lots of F4i riders here to give U a hand (including me! )
U shouldnt have any problem replacing the stator/crankcase cover. Ebay can be your best friend finding a used one or an aftermarket one.
Replacing is pretty simple...just make sure U drain all the oil from the crankcase first!!
Good luck and enjoy the forum!

 

So what have we learned here? No kitty is worth a new stator cover (or mirror).

But seriously, welcome to the CBRF, man.
